Where can i file for maternity benefits .
06-Dec-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
I had applied for a government job 2 years ago. A case was also filed in the court with regard to appointment procedure and process. The case was pending for two years and now in November, 2016 the court order cam in our favour and were ordered immediate joining in the Government office. Now my problem is that on 24th October, 2016 i was blessed with a child and court order came roughly 20 days after that. I have joined the employment and face difficulty in managing my baby and job. My question is that, whether I am eligible for maternity benefits now? Please help
Currently, employees are due a maximum of 12 weeks full paid leave with six of these weeks to be taken after the date of delivery.
In order to claim six weeks leave prior to expected delivery, the employee should give a notice in writing stating the date of absence from work and a certificate of pregnancy. The employer is obliged to make payment in advance of this period. Following the date of delivery, the employee must also send another notice with a certificate of delivery. Notably, remaining payment must be transferred within 48 hours.
Ten weeks before delivery, employees are exempt from night shifts or any activities which would adversely affect their health, pregnancy or fetal development. After returning to work, employees are permitted two nursing breaks until the child is 15 months old.
