I am on a fixed term contract which started in 4 th April 2022 and is going to end automatically if not renewed on 3rd April. The hospital I work for called me and informed that they are not going to extend their contract beyond 3rd April and that it would be my last working day. But I am 2 months pregnant currently and they are aware of the news - only verbal and I have not communicated it in writing. I am sure they are not extending it because they have to provide maternity benefits. Is there a possibility I can avail maternity benefits under the Maternity Act? I do not intend to work post my maternity period if they dont wish to continue but I am trying to avail the benefits atleast as its a devastating news for me. Kindly help me on this.
If the company extends the contract only then maternity benefits can be availed. However, you can ask the company for renewal an on declining the request, the reason for the same. If not satisfied, you can seek the grounds for your removal and take action accordingly.
