Being asked to resume work during maternity leave
05-May-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
What is the legally allowed maternity leave? Can employer ask me to work during my maternity leave? It has been 6 weeks since i delivered.
According to the Maternity Benefits Act 1961, you are entitled to 6 weeks of leave before your due date, and 6 weeks after your child's birth. So you can claim at least 12 weeks or three months maternity leave.
So, if you have delivered 6 weeks back, so your employer can ask you back to join back.
