Hi All,
I came to know that some of the companies are not following the New Maternity Benefit Act. Please tell me, is it mandatory to give 6 months maternity leave benefit to an employee? If the employee is willing to join before 6 months, can she?
Please share your valuable feedback asap.
Thanks,

As per the policy, every company should activate or follow the new act. The Act states that a woman shall be entitled to maternity leave of twenty-six weeks (6 months), of which not more than eight weeks shall precede the date of her expected delivery. It is mandatory for companies to provide 6 months of maternity leave benefit. Yes, I think she can join before 6 months; also, check with the management.
