According to Section 5(4), a woman is allowed maternity leave of 12 weeks only if the adopted child is below 3 months of age. If a woman adopts a child who is more than 3 months of age, she is not considered for maternity leave at all.
My query is about the eligibility of 80 days.
1) If a woman who joined the Organization two months back and adopts a child will be eligible for 12 weeks of maternity leave? If no,
2) Can she apply for maternity leave after acquiring eligibility status in terms of working days?
Experts kindly suggest.
