Dear Seniors,
One of my staff member is on maternity leave from Dec 2016, tough she does not cover under ESIC. She has been given maternity leave for 3 months. now as the new bill has passed from parliament that the maternity leave is extended for 24 weeks from 12 weeks can we extend her leaves as she has applied for extension also, she will be on loss of pay but we need to give her benefit of the act.
any information regarding the new bill pass links only with the ESIC but what if a woman is not covered under ESIC and is eligible for maternity benefit under act. Kindly give your valuable suggestion & feedback.

Dear Nancy, The new law has not come into force as on date. As an organization you can always extend the maternity leave of an employee and treat it as leave without pay. I hope this helps you.
