Hi All!
Warm regards.
We are in the midst of updating HR Policies and there is a Policy related to "Maternity Benefits". While going through the Maternity Benefit Act, I came across a clause which mentions about Miscarriage and leaves to be allowed in case of Miscarriage. Like an employer is liable to pay for Maternity Benefit to Pregnant Employees subject to maximum of two children.
Now my question is whether "Miscarriage" clause is included in those two chances or is it separate?
Secondly, how many times an employee can claim benefit under that clause of Miscarriage? Is there anything specified in act? I am not able to find it.
Please help! :?:
Looking forward to an early response.
Regards,

This is what given in the Act. .
miscarriage" means the expulsion of the contents of a pregnant uterus at any period prior to or during the twenty-sixth week of pregnancy but does not include any miscarriage, the cause of which is punishable under the Indian Penal Code. In the event of a miscarriage, the woman must produce relevant proof that she has suffered a miscarriage. This will entitle her to receive leave with wages at the rate of the maternity benefit, for a period of six weeks immediately following the date of the miscarriage.
Tha act no where specfies how many times miscarriage clause can be used.
However u may go thru the State acts like UP Act which is bascially applicable to govt employees
