Maternity Leave Benefit

Tax Glossary Definition

Maternity Leave Benefit

Maternity Leave Benefit is a legal right that allows female employees to take paid time off from work during and after childbirth. It helps ensure income security, job protection, and enough time for recovery and caring for the newborn. The duration and payment of this leave depend on the labor laws of each country, and employers must keep the employee’s job safe during this period.

Example (India – Maternity Benefit Act, 1961):

In India, eligible women employees can receive paid maternity leave, along with additional benefits such as leave for miscarriage, adoption, or surrogacy, and nursing breaks after returning to work.
