Since the establishment is not a factory, the Maternity Benefits Act, the Act in which the policies and procedures relating to grant of maternity benefits are embodied applies to you if your establishment employs 10 or more persons. Of these, the role of employer to extend the benefits applies only in respect of those employees who are not covered by ESI Act.
As per the Act employees who have worked for 80 days in 12 months immediately preceding the date of delivery shall be given 26 weeks' leave with salary. Of these maximum of 8 weeks only may be given prior to the date of delivery. If the woman already has two children then she can get only 12 weeks' leave of which 6 weeks may precede the date of delivery. There is a provision to pay Rs 3500 (one time) to those woman to whom the employer has not given any pre or post natal care. If your employee is becoming a mother by surrogative method or is adopting a child (below three months) then also she can get 12 weeks' leave with salary as maternity benefit.
The above are he basic things about maternity benefits. Since this is a Central Act, it applies to all states.
