Understanding Maternity Leave Consideration for Working Days and Benefit Calculations - CiteHR

No Tags Found!

Dear Seniors, Will Maternity Leave be considered as working for the purpose of the following:

1. Calculation of PL/EL for the period of 12 weeks maternity leave. Will the full 15 PLs be allowed in such a case, or reduced for the 12-week duration of maternity leave?

2. Calculation of Bonus for the period of 12 weeks maternity leave.

As per the Bonus Act, if an employee worked more than 30 days, then they are entitled to receive the bonus for the financial year. Maternity leave dates should be excluded from the mentioned leaves.

The same principle applies to calculating the leaves for a calendar year.

ML is considered a working day, as rightly said by Mr. Khola. It should be treated in the same way as Privileged Leave, which is also considered a working day for all purposes.
