<h1>Maternity benefit and dismissal during pregnancy: prohibition on termination with exception for prescribed gross misconduct and administrative review</h1> Section provides that an employer is prohibited from terminating employment or varying service conditions to the woman's disadvantage for absence under the maternity chapter; this prohibition preserves entitlement to maternity benefit and medical bonus. It clarifies that termination during pregnancy shall not defeat entitlement to maternity benefit or medical bonus, except where termination is for prescribed gross misconduct, in which case the employer may deprive the woman of such benefit(s). Affected women may seek review by the competent authority within sixty days of communication, and that authority's decision on deprivation or termination is final. Commences w.e.f. 21-11-2025.
