Hi,

Earned or Paid Leave is credited on account of an employee presence on the duty for a period of time. Where in a Maternity Benefit Act is a social security for a period which is irrespective of actual physical presence from duties. So a women employee will get Earned Leaves during her Maternity Leave too.

Dear CitHR Member Ms Pooja1,

Your query can be answered appropriately if you let us know in which organisation you are working. Govt. leave rules i.e. Rule 43 of CCS (Leave) Rules, 1972 is very clear on this aspect that Maternity Leave can be combined with any other kind of leave.
