Dear friends,

I am a startup owner with 25 employees and still struggling to reach breakeven in my business. During the recent year, I have been facing losses year after year but sustaining (as they say never quit) anyhow in hope of making a successful business in the future.

One of the employees recently is seeking maternity benefits for her second child. As I am already neck-deep in losses, I am unable to figure out how to bear the cost of her maternity leave of 6 months. Is there any way we can deal with this situation without further losses, or may we pay her in the future when we have funds.

Looking forward to some feedback.

Dear Entrepreneur,

I could see your anxiety. However, I wish to know about ESIC. Have you not covered her under ESIC if she is eligible? If yes, most of your problems would have been solved. If you have failed, please examine whether there are any possibilities to tide over.
