Hi friends in Cite HR,
A known friend of mine works as a teacher in a private school in Tamil Nadu. She's not a government-aided teacher but has been classified as management staff as per the school norms. Yet, she has received her appointment letter and has been serving the school for the past 4 years. Her normal deductions are also made (PF) as per the salary breakup.
She recently delivered a baby and upon approaching the school management for her maternity leave, she was informed that she would be granted only 3 months of leave, out of which 2 months would be paid leave, and the rest would be on LOP/LWP. This came as a surprise to me as it does not align with the previous Maternity Benefit Act.
My concern is whether private school teachers fall under the current Maternity Benefit Leave order, and if the Maternity Benefit is applicable to all staff in a school (private or government teachers).
Also, I would like to download the latest amendment of the Maternity Benefit Act. Can anyone please share?
Thank you, friends, for your valuable responses.
Regards,
John

Maternity Benefits are applicable to school teachers.
The lady in question has worked for 4 years and she is entitled.
I would suggest to the lady:
You may submit the intimation of pregnancy and expected date of delivery to appointing authority, Chairman with copy of the Doctor’s Certificate Rx showing date of delivery and notice for Payment of Maternity Benefit and stating that your maternity benefit and any other amount to which you are entitled under this Act may be paid to you.
She needs to claim medical bonus also(Rs3500)
In case of any issue,raise level to Labour Commissioner.
