My wife working as a Project Assistant in RKVY project (Climate change) under Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya. Her appointment is ad hoc. She is working since May, 2010. Now she is pregnant and expected delivery date is February (last week). I want to know whether she can get the maternity leave as per the maternity benefit act ? Have any rules/act which she will submit to her employer ? Please help me.
