I work for a private company and planning to resign post maternity leave. I have to serve 2 months of notice from the date of resignation and the company policies for the notice period conflict with allowing the benefit of nursing breaks.Do the company policies stand above the maternity benefit law?

Maternity Act will stand above company policy if it contradict with law of the land,provided you are covered under M B Act. Varghese Mathew 9961266966

Dear Prema,
I always say that no policy of company is above any Law on that subject. Please understand if such a situation would have been possible no company would have followed any Law.
You are by law entitled for nursing breaks entitled to you by Maternity Benefit Act, even if you are serving your notice period.

Dear Prem,
Normally any working individual in an organization has to inform well in advance (give notice period) for the management to find suitable replacement smoothly. In your case, you plan to resign post maternity leave. Hence why not inform them well in advance? so that there will be no hazzles in relieving you... Also, since you are in maternity leave period some body would be looking after your responsibilities. right...The management has to ask the concerned to extend their roles little further. Its a good business ethics if you follow the norms while you are on job.. Also, you may not like this to happen to you..(ie. suppose you are an employer, would you like your employee to adopt your method of resigning post maternity). Hence think both sides of the coin before arriving at a decision... As far as your query is concerned, no company law is above the law of the land...
Best wishes.

I totally agree with Mr Murdhar,
It is duty of each and every employee to follow the norm & term of the company to run the show / work smoothly ,. You should inform them inform them well in advance about your resignation. Nursing breaks is your right but not a resignation - post maternity leave.
As far as your query is concerned, no company law is above the law of the land...
