Hi,

The Maternity Act covers all establishments that employ 10 or more people and provides for the payment of maternity benefits to female employees. If the number of employees is less than 10, there is no requirement to cover employees under the Maternity Benefit Act. It is not compulsory but optional. On humanitarian grounds, employers may consider it, but it is not a statutory obligation.
