How to tackle a female employee who was HR, and has already taken maternity leave one time after having a baby she has not come to the office for more than six months and she is again pregnant and now demanding leave for six months, so we asked her doctor slip where it is mentioned bed rest, but in the report its written travelling and everything is fine, so we send her a mail that we will not be paying her any amount until she comes to the office face to face discussion, now she sent a legal notice for unfairness.
As per law, she can take leave 2 months before delivery and 4 months after, but it's unfair to the company that without working from the office she is again demanding leave !!

She cannot take maternity leave in continuation to the one she has availed. As per section 5(2) she should have actually worked at least 80 days in the 12 months preceding the expected date of delivery. There are two conditions, 80 days working and 12 months. Therefore, you may reject her demand for maternity leave saying that she is not eligible to take maternity leave (second one) unless these two conditions are satisfied.

Eighty days in twelve months condition is applicable only for maternity benefits for confinement, not for sickness arising out of pregnancy.

The case here is second maternity leave without joining back! The person on leave is asking for maternity leave of 26 weeks immediately after she has utilised the first spell of leaves. It is also presumed that she does not have two surviving children when she asks for 26 weeks leave.
