Yes, you are eligible for maternity leave and benefits under the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961. You can avail of these benefits even if you join the job shortly before or after your delivery. However, it’s advisable to consult your HR department for the exact policy and procedures.

I’ve been working with this public limited company for the past 12 years. I took a society loan of ₹7 lakhs from them and have been paying it back through my salary. Now, I’m thinking of leaving for a better opportunity, but I’m worried about the loan. I also took a home loan and am currently struggling financially, so I can’t repay the loan immediately. Could you advise me on the process of leaving the company and what alternatives I have? I already used my PF for my home loan, leaving me with about ₹2.5 lakhs in total PF and gratuity.

I worked for a cash management company for two years, joining on May 29, 2014 and leaving on May 22, 2016. I didn’t serve my notice period, but received my full and final settlement after three months. I filled out all required PF forms, like Form 19, and submitted the necessary documents. My manager assured me I’d receive my PF within 120 days, but it’s been four months and I haven’t received it yet. When I inquired with HR, they said the manager hadn’t sent my PF documents. Now, I’m considering legal action against the manager and the company. What should I do?

Imagine a situation where a state’s school education department forms a society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. This society is completely controlled and funded by the department itself. The society then recruits staff, promising them all the benefits of the department’s “CSR” scheme. However, these employees are given the same pay and allowances as those directly employed by the department. Now, consider these questions: 1. How can these society employees actually access all the benefits of the “CSR” scheme? 2. What if the department claims these employees are ineligible for the benefits because they work for the society, even though they’ve been given written regularization orders? 3. Is there any difference in the benefits or rights between employees working directly for the education department and those working for this society? 4. If the department denies benefits to society employees, what legal recourse do they have?

Dear Sir/Madam, Could you please advise if an employee can personally deliver a notice under Section 80 of the CPC to their employer? Also, does this notice require any stamp duty or notarization? Thank you for your guidance.

Starting my first job as an intern at a small company, I was earning ₹12,000 a month. I landed a great opportunity that required me to join within a week. I informed my HR, who suggested talking to my mentor, but he refused due to fear of our boss. With no other option, I left the job without notice. They’ve now sent a letter demanding ₹70,000 as a penalty and a legal notice asking for ₹1,50,000 or threatening legal action. The internship agreement mentioned a 15-day notice period, but the HR had verbally said I could leave by paying my salary. I left my last month’s salary with the company and resigned via email. Should I be worried?
