Dear Anshu,

I wonder if you received a reply to your question. I too have a similar query on maternity benefits and would like to know if an employer can make such a rule or policy that a woman is entitled to maternity benefits only if she serves an organization for a year and not before that. It would be very helpful if someone could respond to this and also shed some light on what defense an organization can take in case it denies maternity benefits to its employees until they complete one year of service.

Thank you,

Hi,

Am I entitled to get maternity benefits from my company? The company has fired me at the end of my 6th month of the maternity period without any prior notice period, citing the reason that they cannot afford my salary anymore. They are claiming that they are not obligated to pay me any maternity benefit since it is a Limited Liability Partnership company with less than 10 employees. This company is an Educational Institute (a Private MBA college) in Maharashtra, India. I joined this company on October 22, 2011, and the company asked me to leave on May 1, 2011, without providing any prior notice. Could you kindly suggest if I am entitled to any compensation (for being fired without any notice period) and maternity benefits (3 months paid leave or so)?

You need not pay back the salary availed during maternity leave. Extension of leave may result in loss of pay for the extended leave period only. Don't worry; no consequences will arise from leave extension, but inform them with a doctor's certificate.

Hello,

Hi! I need to know if a female employee who is on maternity leave is eligible for retirement benefits such as PF, Gratuity, etc., for those particular 12 weeks in addition to her daily wages.

Please reply.
