I work for a private company and am planning to resign after my maternity leave. I am required to provide a 2-month notice from the date of resignation, and the company policies regarding the notice period conflict with allowing nursing breaks. Do the company policies take precedence over the maternity benefit law?

Maternity Act will stand above company policy if it contradict with law of the land,provided you are covered under M B Act. Varghese Mathew 9961266966

I always say that no policy of a company is above any law on that subject. Please understand, if such a situation were possible, no company would follow any law.
You are, by law, entitled to nursing breaks provided by the Maternity Benefit Act, even if you are serving your notice period.

Normally, any working individual in an organization has to inform well in advance (give notice period) for the management to find a suitable replacement smoothly. In your case, you plan to resign post-maternity leave. Hence, why not inform them well in advance so that there will be no hassles in relieving you? Also, since you are on maternity leave, somebody would be looking after your responsibilities, right? The management may have to ask the concerned individuals to extend their roles a little further. It's good business ethics if you follow the norms while you are on the job. Also, you may not like this to happen to you (i.e., suppose you are an employer, would you like your employee to adopt your method of resigning post-maternity). Hence, think about both sides of the coin before arriving at a decision. As far as your query is concerned, no company law is above the law of the land.

I totally agree with Mr. Murdhar. It is the duty of each and every employee to follow the norms and terms of the company to ensure smooth operations. You should inform them well in advance about your resignation. Taking nursing breaks is your right, but it does not equate to resignation—especially post-maternity leave.
