Hi All,
I came to know that some of the companies are not following the New Maternity Benefit Act. Please tell me is it mandatory to give 6 months maternity Leave benefit to employee?
If the employee is willing to join before 6 months, can she?
Please share your valuable feedback asap.
Thanks,

Dear Akansha, It is mandatory to 26 weeks leave to the employee and any violation will be dealt with penalties by the respective authorities.

Hi,
As per the policy, every company should activate or follow the new act. The Act says a woman shall be entitled to maternity leave of twenty-six weeks (6 months) of which not more than eight weeks shall precede the date of her expected delivery. It is mandatory for the companies to give 6 months of maternity leave benefit. Yes, I think she can join before 6 months also check with the management.
