Maternity Milestone for Women in Construction Sector

Woower Echo January 31, 2024

Maternity benefits are being extended to women in the construction sector, ensuring their eligibility for maternity leave and appropriate payments under the PM Matru Vandana Yojana scheme. The Labour Ministry has issued a directive to companies within the infrastructure sector, stipulating them to provide 26 weeks of maternity leave to registered construction workers.

Employers are required to offer a 12-week paid maternity leave for female workers with more than two children or those who are adopting a child or serving as commissioning mothers.

In the case of a miscarriage, she is eligible for leave with wages equivalent to maternity benefits for the six-week period immediately following the day of the miscarriage.

The company should deposit wages directly into their accounts. These benefits will also cover migrant women workers.
