O R D E R:
******
As per the existing guidelines on outsourcing and contract employment issued in the references first and second
read above, women
employees
are eligible for 120 days maternity leave without paying remuneration for the said period.
The President, APNGOs Association in the
reference third read
above, brought to the notice of the Government that the unpaid period of maternity
leave is adding more sufferings to the existing troubles of the women employees who are working on
outsourcing and contract basis. The APNGOs Association has requested the government to consider for grant of
at least 60(Sixty) days of paid Maternity Leave for two deliveries in respect of the above women employees.
After
careful examination of the matter
and taking into view the health of the child and also the mother, the Government,
in partial modification of the existing guidelines, hereby
order that married
women employees working
on outsourcing
or on contract basis shall be eligible for 60 (Sixty) days of paid Maternity Leave for the first two deliveries. This condition is relaxed in cases of employees having less than two surviving children.
The paid maternity leave shall be equivalent to
the existing remuneration
drawn by the above women employees. The statutory benefits such as EPF and ESI and other
recoveries
wherever admissible shall
also
be admissible by treating them as On Duty.
