In my company, as maternity benefits we do pay 3 months salary to those who are not covered under ESI. But we do not have any policy regarding appraisals / increment to be given to them after completion of 1 year. We are preparing a policy on that, need your guidance on that.
For e.g.
If ABC has taken Maternity leave for the period Jan to March and her appraisal falls in April then her appraisal should be processed in April.
If XYZ has taken Maternity leave for the period Jan to March and subsequently extended the same for 3 months then what should be done... (please advise)
Seeking your valuable guidance on that.

Dear All,

But a women who are availing the benefit under E.S.I can not get the same benefit under maternity benefit act 1961
i.e leave with wages ( she can eligible to get leave only not wages for that period)
NOTE :  MATERNITY BENEFIT FOR CONFINEMENT/PREGNANCY IS PAYABLE FOR THREE MONTHS, WHICH IS EXTENDABLE BY FURTHER ONE MONTH ON MEDICAL ADVICE AT THE RATE OF FULL WAGE SUBJECT TO CONTRIBUTION FOR 70 DAYS IN THE PRECEDING YEAR.
