The Maternity Benefit Act empowers women to balance professional and personal responsibilities without compromising their health or career. For employees, it ensures financial stability and workplace support during a critical life stage. For employers, compliance fosters a supportive work culture, enhances employee retention, and aligns with legal and ethical standards.
Non-compliance with the Maternity Benefit Act can result in penalties, including fines and imprisonment. Employers must maintain records of maternity benefits provided and ensure awareness of employee rights. Regular audits and policy updates are essential to meet the act’s requirements.
