Dear expert
I have following questions:
1. Is ESI act applicable for private (k12) schools? Our school is situated at Mehsana, Gujarat and it is going to get CBSE affiliation. Will the ESI be compulsory for us?
2. Is it correct that the Maternity Benefit act is not applicable when ESI is applicable?
If yes than will it be beneficial for the school management as employer to enroll for ESI voluntarily?
3. How is the system of payment during the maternity leaves?
Should the woman employee be given regular payment during her maternity leaves or the company could reimburse the salary after she returns from the maternity leave?
