- If Employee take one week leave before delievry and she wants to take 11 week leaves after delivering the child, Employer is liable to pay the salary for whole period.
- If we pay all the salary in advance and employee would not join company after taking all the leaves, what action can be taken by the employer

Dear
Parawise reply to your queries is given below :
(this is regarding the benefit - salary)
Also, I would like to request you that, as an HR person you should learn and PRACTICE the USE OF PROPER TERMINOLOGIES AND LANGUAGE.
Instead of using the phrase "she wants to take 11 week leaves after producing the child...",
kindly use the phrase "DELIVERING THE CHILD."
Your query and language reflects the attitude of your organization as well as yours.

Parawise reply to your queries is given below :
(this is regarding the benefit - salary)
- Salary is to be paid as usual (during the entire period). It has nothing to do with " Pre delievery, Post delivery or at the time of joining the office after availing the Maternity Leave".
- Yes
- An employee is at liberty, (after availing Maternity benefit), to continue in employment with your company or not.
