Hi

First of all congratulations for both the important stages of life, being a mom and job....You are doing both at same time....Great.....

Join the duty and go on maternity leave.

Thank You

To avail maternity it is not necessary that you will have to join before the date of delivery.

If you join in the job even after the delivery of the child then also you will be eligible for maternity leave as prescribed under the Maternity Benefit Act.

In the above situation the state government either has to.grant an extension on joining or further has to grant the benifit of the maternity leave .

Citing two judgements for the reference in the situation.

Hello,

You are not covered under the rules to avail maternity leave as required period of continuous employment for 80 days in preceding year is not completed as you were not in their employment.

You join the job and at the time of delivery take unpaid leaves on account of health.

You have the right to maternity leave regardless of how long you've been in your job, how many hours you work, or how much you're paid. To claim this entitlement, you must give your employer or concern dept the correct notice.
