hello
My wife I s working with a private school n she is 3 months pregnant.
Since she has told the school about her pregnancy , she is told to discontinue the school ,since the owner knows about maternity leave.
We are from middle class family, please advise what can be done regarding this.
with Regards
Vaibhav
WHETHER ESIC IS APPLICABLE?? IF YES
A women becoming the mother fulfills her duties just not for her family but for society as well. But one should be careful not to join office back during maternity leave period as this leave can be taken in one spell at a stretch. The companies which are covered under Employees state Insurance schemes are also obliged to give maternity benefits to their women employees for eg., Women employee cannot be sacked form the job just because she is pregnant or going to become a mother as per maternity benefit act, 1961. Working women can apply to labor court of her area in case maternity benefits are denied by the employer within sixty days from the date of receiving orders. As per maternity benefit act, the employer can be punished under, if he/she denies maternity benefits to women employees and that includes imprisonment for three months or fine up to Rs. 5000/- or both
