Hi,
This is good news for new mothers, but I want to ask one question: If an employee is on maternity leave from January 1, 2017, and according to the old maternity leave rule, her leave is supposed to end on March 31, 2017, does the amendment in the maternity leave rule apply to her? Can she avail the benefits of the 14 weeks extended leave?
Thank you.

Amendments have not become law as of today. Once it becomes law, from that day onwards, an employee is eligible for 26 weeks of benefits, including 8 weeks of prenatal and 18 weeks of postnatal leave. If an employee is already on maternity leave as per the earlier law on that date, she will be eligible for the remaining 26 weeks.
