Creche Facilities for Women Employees Availing Maternity Benefits
As the 1st of July is approaching, I am requesting information on practices that an organization should follow or mandatory practices for ensuring that the creche is made available to women employees who have availed maternity benefits:
1. What should be the proximity of the creche from the office?
2. Who should bear the cost of the creche - the employer, the employee, or any other arrangement?
3. Until what age should the creche facility be provided - maximum 15 months from birth (after the 26 weeks and work from home)?
4. If the employer is unable to provide the creche, can the employer reimburse the employee for the creche facility?
5. Would the nursing time also be counted in the time allocated to visit the creche?
Please share how you are implementing the same in your company.
