What actions can I take if maternity pay hasn’t been received?

I have completed 2 months after maternity leave, as mentioned in my offer letter. According to the letter, employees will receive maternity pay after rejoining for 2 months. However, despite completing the period, they have not paid me. What action can I take? Please suggest.

If your employer has not paid the maternity benefits as stated in your offer letter, you can file a complaint with the labor commissioner or the court. You can also send a legal notice to the company demanding the payment. A lawyer can guide you on how to proceed with this claim. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
