THE SUSPENSE IS OVER NOW!
Now the suspense is over on the issue of entitlement of maternity benefit to women employees with respect to the existing 12 weeks and the revised period of entitlement of 26 weeks as the maternity leave. The provision has to be carried out by every establishment. Not only that it has been made mandatory for the employer to intimate to every woman employee at the time of her recruitment, as the amended Act specifies, as follows:
"Every establishment shall intimate in writing and electronically to every woman at the time of her initial appointment regarding every benefit available under the Act."
