Can I extent my maternity leave
29-Apr-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
Hi Sir/Madam, I am a central government employee who is under maternity leave right now (for 180 days) - My baby is just 5 month old. My maternity leave is getting completed by end of this month. I wish to take care of my baby atleast for another few more months. 1. Am I eligible for availing Child care leave in continuation of my Maternity leave ? 2. Is this a right of a female employee or this is purely depended on my supervisor decision ? 3. If the supervisor person refused to grant me this, is there a way to get this granted ?
As per the Maternity Act, 1961, Sick benefit leave may be availed after the completion of above said 26 weeks of leave, if certified correct by the approved medical authorities. Otherwise, if an employee is availing leave after the eligible leave of 26 weeks, the leave availed would be considered as leave under loss of pay until and unless she has the leave credit in her leave account.
