Maternity Benefit Act is applicable to establishments irrespective of the number of females employed. Therefore, even if there is only one female employee the Act will be applicable and she will be eligible for maternity benefits.
Application of Workmen's Compensation Act takes place automatically. Only thing is that in respect of employees who are covered by ESI, the obligation to pay compensation in case of employment injury etc will be on the ESI Corporation and not on the employer. On the other hand it becomes his responsibility to ensure insurance cover to the rest of the employees.
