5 months ago
As an employer of 25-30 staff (proprietorship in Karnataka) how many paid leaves do staff on maternity leave get? Both before and after delivery, at what pay rate and for both <=2nd pregnancy and after.
A.Dear Client,
The Maternity Benefit Act 1961 states that a woman employee can apply for Maternity leave if she has worked with the employer for 80 days in the last 12 months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery. As per the provision of the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, maternity leave is awarded to pregnant employees with full pay and the duration of maternity leave for both first and second-time mothers is 6 months or 26 weeks. This leave can be availed either before or within 6 months from the date of delivery of the child. and the leave period may be extended in emergency conditions on the recommendation of the treating Doctor or the Medical Board of the Hospital. Once a woman employee applies for maternity leave, the Company is dutybound to approve her leave and disburse her all the monetary benefits available under the Act.

A.Dear Client,
The Maternity Benefit Act covers all establishments that employ 10 or more people, including both public and private sectors. The current provisions provide up to 26 weeks of maternity leave, of which 8 weeks must be taken before delivery. For the first two live-born children, female employees are entitled to 26 weeks of paid maternity leave. For subsequent children, the entitlement is 12 weeks of paid maternity leave. Employers are required to pay full wages during maternity leave, which must be paid within 15 days of the due date. Maternity leave is available for both married and unmarried women who have been employed for at least 80 days in the 12 months prior to the expected date of delivery.
