Hi all ,
I do not have exact idea about the maternity leave policies or law , so I need to understand what I can do about it. My wife works in a private BPO firm , its a big BPO , and she will delivering our child in 1 or 2 months time . But when she went to take approval for her maternity leave from AVP hr of company , the AVP hr person talked rudly and denied the application by saying that she needed to apply or take approval for leave well before 3 months of delivery and its a company policy .
So my questions are
1. can anybody deny maternity leave on the basis of such policy.
2. If still they deny the leave can we take any legal action against the company and the AVP hr.
what an employee can do about it.
Please help us or guide us.
Thanks in advance
