Temporary, Ad Hoc And Contract Staff Also Entitled To Maternity Leave: CAT

Central Administrative Tribunal  (CAT) observed that it is a fact that temporary, ad hoc or contract employees do not enjoy the same benefits as a regular employee but request for maternity leave stood on a different footing. In a significant ruling, the CAT has said that temporary, ad hoc and contract women employees are also entitled to maternity leave and consequent benefits akin to regular staff.
