Dear Reader,
I am working in a private limited company.
I am 8th month pregnant and i have informed my company in 3rd month of my pregnancy that i will be going on maternity leave as i am the only Hr in the company and even 1st lady to go on maternity.
I will be completing 3yrs on 30th sept 2014 with the same organisation.
last week i meet with my doctor and they told me due to my condition they will be making my delivery 3 weeks prior than my expected date.
I reconfirm with my directors to please inform me in writing that how much would be my maternity leaves and benefit.
Their answers was we will only provide 3 month leave and during that period you will be entitled with only basic salary.
Please let me know the correct maternity benefit which i can demand and that should be legal for every company and employee as i have checked on this site itself that full wages are entitled plus some medical benefit.
please every one do let me know as i am in trouble and in big tension becoz of their decision.
Thanks a lot
