If the Company is contemplating taking any such illegal action against you for seeking benefits extended to a female employee under a statute/Act, then they may face worse consequences once you bring the matter to the notice of competent authority. The Maternity Benefit Act 1961 states that a woman employee can apply for Maternity leave even on a probation period if she has worked with the employer for 80 days in t ...ReadMore

As per the Act, a woman cannot be dismissed or discharged or given notice of dismissal during or on account of her absence due to maternity le ...ReadMore
