Sir,
One of my relatives is working with a popular school in her area as a teacher. The school has given her the appointment letter.
I just want to know that is she eligible for maternity leaves? It has been more than one year she is working with that school.
The school administration is saying that she will be treated as LWP/ABS in maternity period.
Does big private school come under Maternity Act? Is she eligible for maternity leave.
Regards,

Please let me know the following :-
1. In school, most of the teachers are given appointment on 'Contractual' basis. i.e for Academic sessions. You said your relative has completed only one year. What his her appoint, on permanent basis or on contractual basis??
2. If she has been issued with an appointment letter, does it also have a 'Probation Clause'?? What is the period of the Probation??
3. Lastly, did she got a confirmation letter after successful completion of Probation period??
If the answer to the last question is Yes, then she is entitled for 84 days Maternity leave as per the maternity benefit act, 1961.

If the school is one to which shops and commercial establishment Act of Delhi is applicable and the teacher is not covered under ESI ,then she will be eligible for maternity benefits under MB Act 1961.

Sir,
I thank all of you for answering my question.
I would like to say that school authorities (School is in Delhi) are saying that they do not give any maternity benefit to any employee.
She (Designation:Assistant Teacher) is not a contractual employee and her appointment letter has a 'Probation Clause' of one year which was completed in January 2015.
But the school administration has not given her any confirmation letter. They said "they will give it to her once she joins the school again in July 2015. (After Leaves).
Please advice.

So, its very necesssary to know that in what terms and conditions, mentioned, she had signed on the said appointment letter.
