A case has to my notice. Details of case like this. Shilpi has been working in a garment Manufacturing and Export Company for last seven years. She is expected to be a mother of still born baby. She approached HR for maternity leave for 26 weeks as per Maternity Benefit Amendment Act-2017, of which 8 weeks before the date expected date of delivery.
The HR department is telling her to apply first for PL, when all the PL will be exhausted, remaining days will be adjusted from his 26 weeks maternity leave.
Here I would like to address all HR People that Maternity leave is a special leave granted to women employees. No adjustment or debit to any other kind of leave is permissible. If it is done they will bring the Company in wrong side of law. If the matter is reported to Human Rights Commission, they will set right the concerned HR officer.
