A woman employee with a private firm who was denied salary during maternity leave was granted the benefit following intervention by the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW).

“The company in Okhla industrial area had agreed to give maternity leave to the woman, a senior merchandiser, but denied salary amounting to ₹1,08,000 for three months,” a DCW official said.

Company accepts fault

“She approached us, after which the company was issued a notice. Following the proceedings, the company accepted its fault and paid the due amount.”

She told the DCW that when she availed leave in December, the human resources department had promised paid leave. However, she was denied the salary when she went to collect it in February.
