Hi, I have a query. A female worker is working in a factory in where ESI is NOT applicable. Her salary is 25000 which exceeds the legal wage ceiling (Rs 21000) for benefits under the ESI Act. In such a scenario is she eligible for cash benefits by the employer for all the leave taken before and after delivery?
Thanks and Regards

If the company's all-inclusive manpower is 10 or more Maternity Benefit Act is applicable to it. There is no mention of salary in the act,is applicable to all female employees. benefits under ESI & the maternity act are same.
