i too agree with Madhu sire the employment opportunities of women workers will come down.Most of organisations donot give 12 weeks leave ,do you think they will give 26 weeks leave,whenever they will come to know that so and so is pregnant the organisation will take resignation on some ground.
Most of the Female employees donot continue after the child birth,they just come to take benefit and go off

Has this act come in to force by notification in the Official Gazette as mentioned in the Bill? I was told by my HR that I will be paid only after receiving the official Gazette date.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi All,
I wanted to confirm in case if the amendment is effective, as it mentions employees covered under ESIC. In case if my organnization is under ESIC, will it be applicable to by Organization?
As the name suggests it is for leave, in case if employee does not join back, then in that case will the company be advised to maternity pay.
looking forward to hear on the same

I could not understand the post of Ms. Priya well.
The ESI Corporation has decided to grant 26 weeks leave to the employees covered under the ESI. The Corporation has also decided to grant maternity leave to the extent of 12 weeks to commissioning and adopting mother. They have taken a step ahead by implementing the recommendations.
Now, in the absence of an amendment to the Maternity Benefit Act, this will not apply to employees who are not covered by ESI. Therefore, by virtue of the fact that your establishment is covered by ESI, you cannot say that those who are not covered by ESI can also take 26 weeks leave. Let us wait for a few days within which, the Act will be passed and the proposal will be implemented. Till then, this is available only to ESI covered employees and is given by the ESI corporation.
