Understanding Maternity Leave Eligibility
What exactly is the nature of your query? Have you read the provisions of the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961? Is this query for yourself or a woman employee of your company? For how many years has the woman employee been working with you? Did she avail of maternity leave earlier during her tenure in your company?
If the woman employee is pregnant for the second time, then obviously she is eligible for maternity leave for the second time. As far as proof of pregnancy is concerned, you may ask her to provide the gynecologist's certificate. If the woman employee is covered under ESI, then she can obtain the certificate from the ESI doctor. What certificate did she provide for availing maternity leave for the first time?
Dear friend, you have raised this query. However, if you are from HR and your query is for some woman employee of your company, then it may imply some suspicion towards her. Suspicion erodes employee motivation. Therefore, do not take legal provisions with a pinch of salt.
Thanks,
