A.Dear Client.
The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 is applicable to all types of establishments and women employees are entitled to the benefits in course of their pregnancy once they applied for the same to their employer following the provision of said Act.
An employer is duty bound to provide you the benefits provided under the said Act including grant of maternity leave and payment for leave period. Refusal of such benefits to employees makes an employer to face prosecution for violation of the mandatory provision of the said Act once it is reported to the concerned Authority.
Reach out to the office of Labour Commissioner concerned for filing a complaint against the employer over the alleged refusal of maternity benefits and victimization of employee with ulterior motives to resolve your grievance.
