Dear Sirs,
My company Policy says maternity benefit/miscarriage benefit will be given to a female employee as per the laws but only once in her complete service tenure in our company. Is it legal, what if a female employee has availed benefits of maternity/miscarriage leave once and after a couple of years plans another child? Or what in case she has availed leaves after her miscarriage and plans to have a child after some time? Shall in this case my company reserves right to terminate her employment because she is expecting a baby and the company does not want to give her the maternity benefits twice? please share your views and guide me through this as I am into a process of revising all the HR policies.

The stand of the company is unreasonable and contrary to law. You may bring the matters to the notice of the Trade Union.

Send the notice to the company then approach the labour court in your jurisdiction
