What rights does a woman has upon her return to work from maternity leave ?

Answer & Explanation:

When a female employee resumes her employment, then she is entitled to following benefits: Every woman who has delivered a child and returns to duty after such delivery shall, in addition to the interval for rest allowed to her, be allowed in the course of her daily work two breaks of the prescribed duration for nursing the child until the child attains the age of fifteen months. Every establishment having fifty or more employees shall have the facility of creche within such distance as may be prescribed, either separately or along with common facilities. The employer shall allow four visits a day to the creche by the woman, which shall also include the interval for rest allowed to her. Every establishment shall intimate in writing and electronically to every woman at the time of her initial appointment regarding every benefit available under the Maternity Benefits Act, 1961.
