Hi,
I am 6 months pregnant and working in a private company from last 9 months. Company fired me to give 1 month notice because of structure changes in company and my current position was dissolved. My last working day will be 6th July. How can I claim my maternity benefits ?
Please help. Because as per law company cannot fire a pregnant lady.

Dear Khushbhoo,
First of all you need to be more specific if you have given resignation letter or company have actually fired you during your maternity period. Because, any employer cannot fire employee during her pregnancy. She is been covered under Maternity Act and being covered under it. So if you have not resigned and employer have fired you then you need to have word with him accordingly and if they are not ready to accept then you can approach labor office.

Hi Manoj,
I didn't resign. HR called us 4 people (Me and 3 boys) and gave us termination letter and giving the above reason of structure changes in company, company is going in loss and all.
If I talk to HR and she said We have fired 3 people along with you then, can I approach to labor office ?

Maternity Benifit Act don't say that a pregnant women cannot be terminated. As per sec 12 she cannot be terminated only when she is absenting accordance with the provisions of the Act.During other times she can be terminated.
