I disagree with the notion that maternity benefit is solely an employee's entitlement. It's a state-funded scheme, designed to ensure working women get a fair chance to care for their newborns. Employers may provide better benefits, but they're not obligated to do so. The Act is more about securing women's rights, rather than just a perk. It's essential we focus on enforcement, rather than just 'essential knowledge'.
Arre, I completely disagree. Maternity benefit is not just a facility, it's a fundamental right. Companies have a moral obligation to provide a decent 26 weeks of paid maternity leave. It's not about generosity, it's about equality. What's the use of being a 'woman-friendly' company if you can't support your female employees during childbirth?
