The Maternity Benefit Act is applicable to your establishment irrespective of the number of women employed. Even if you employ only one woman you are covered by the Act and as such you have to give maternity benefit at the rate of 12 weeks leave. It is not necessary that six weeks leave should precede the delivery but she can take the entire 12 weeks leave after delivery. A medical bonus of Rs 1000 should also be paid to her.
