In australia we have very strict anti-discrimination laws and diversity laws. You mentioned that this person is a good employee and that should be your focus when approaching your seniors, it is important to hold onto good staff they are very hard to find.

Hi All, Heare I am attaching a document for Maternity Benefit Act 1961. Regards, Rupesh G. Shingote.

Pregnency is a fact. The child, expected is a fact. Maternity leave is for the women to recuperate and to take care of the child. The child is not responsible for the technicalities of marriage or otherwise of the mother
The lady has to be given maternity leave and any other benefit and facilities that is available as per contract, law, custom and usage of your Company. Advise your employer, not to question the parenthood of the child. That is not your business.
By the way, I am not one of the young generation, but aged 62 and retired from Government after 42 years service.

Its wonderful to see so many men standing in support of a woman who chooses to live life on her terms. As long as one is performing well, you dont have the right to terminate her services. Whether a woman gets pregnant before marriage or after it, its her own choice and no organization should interfere in her personal decisions.
Dear Joe,
Am sure you would have got a lot of responses fro this topic by now, please also note that the Maternity benefit act of 1961 clearly states that an unmarried women is eligible for Maternity leave, if she has completed 80 working days in the year preceding delivery.

Dear Joe,
As they say, While maternity is a certainty, paternity is a probability. You cannot deny her right to have a baby and all the benefits flowing out of industrial law. Whether the lady is married or not or whether she discloses the name of her Child's father or not, maternity is a gift nature has bestowed upon her. Who are we to deny her the benefits. This opinion is not philosophical but out of innumerable judgements delivered in similar cases all over India.

Hello,
In the first place, the employee has a right for 'Maternity Claim'. No way employer can think of the other clauses related to.
No.2, there are few organisations, cleary define the organisational ethics and morale and unless speciified about any clause in appointment letter or against any of the misconduct(s) specified in the Company's certified model standing orders, no actional can legally be iniitiated in this case.
Lastly, you should own the decision, hece, check your internal integrity part and negotiate with the employee for an appropriate decision best suitable to her & organisation.

Hi All,
I am so glad to see all the support for this lady who has taken this decision of becoming a single mom. I fully agree that she should be granted maternity leave and all the benefits that go with it as per company policies.
Glad to see we have all come to age where performance and fact that she is a good employee is appreciated and not her personal life and choices.
