Dear all
I have doubt about ML. Our is manufacturing company. We have appointment women in Staff cadre since 1 yr. she is married just 5 months ago.
Now my question is when does the ML eligibility start. Is that like every other leave Women are entitled for 12 week ML per year and if that is not used she gets another 12 weeks leaves for next year and both years leaves are accumulated.
How does the entire process start ? Please help me.
Thanks

Manufacturing or BPO or Shops, maternity leave is applicable
We have appointment women in Staff cadre since 1 yr. she is married just 5 months ago.
Date of marriage is immaterial 5 months or 5 years has no relevance
Now my question is when does the ML eligibility start. Is that like every other leave Women are entitled for 12 week ML per year and if that is not used she gets another 12 weeks leaves for next year and both years leaves are accumulated.
Maternity leave is allowed twice It is not accumulated and carried forward. Ih an employee avails ML now and applies for second delivery after one or two years or even after 10 years, you need to give.

Dear Mr.Sivasankaran
The women employee is entitled to get maternity leave under the Maternity Benefit Act if she had worked for eighty days during the twelve months immediately preceding the date of expected delivery.[Section 5(2) of the Maternity Benefit Act]. Under the Maternity Benefit Act there is no ceiling on the number of times a woman employee could avail maternity leave. However, each time the condition of eighty days working has to be fulfilled. The Maternity Benefit Act is not applicable if the employee is covered by the ESI Act.

Please note that the maternity benefit act does not anywhere specify that the meternity benefit can be extended only to married women. In fact in my earlier organisation, we did grant the meternity leave to an unmarried woman. The statute is annoymous to the custom or culture of the society

Under the Maternity Benefits Act, 1961 the condition levied is that the female employee should have served the institution for a minimum period of 80 days in 12 months preceding the date of expected delivery. Also, the Act has undergone regular amendments with the recent one being in 2008. According to Notification by the Ministry of Labour and Employment dated 19 December 2011, an amendment has been made to the amount of medical bonus payable to women entitled to maternity benefit, it has increased from Rs 2,500/- to Rs 3, 500/-.
The Act provides for 12 weeks of paid leave as maternity leave and 6 weeks in case of miscarriage or termination of pregnancy. In addition to the provisions for leave and cash benefits, the Act also makes provisions for matters like light work for pregnant women 10 weeks prior to her delivery, nursing breaks during daily work till the child attends age of 15 months, etc.
