6 months paid maternity as well as paternity

Yeah. Maternity leaves are govt mandated. Having 6 months of paternity leave shows how employees centric a company is!

3 days. If you try to take paid or unpaid vacation of more than 2 weeks then a lot of hue and cry about impacting business

No paternity leaves in TCS. We have to use our leaves. Sayad yaha koi baap nhi Banta ya join hone se pehle hi ban jata hai.

Last month I posted about firing a female employee after maternity that created a debate: https://share.gvine.app/fdu9iQyCrQP6Ehn89

For anyone interested in how things turned out, here it is...

TLDR: Employee/new mom filed an FIR, police closed it after she admitted she quit after we tried to put her on a PIP. (In FIR she said she was wrongly terminated)

The women's commission of India summoned me after and it was an experience! I got scolded for about 2h by four women... but in the end they just scolded me like angry teachers? I guess they tried to give the lady some satisfaction by humiliating me. Pretty sad if that's all they can do to represent women with genuine cases.

Overall the average grapevine user said I was in the wrong for putting a new mom on a PIP, regardless of performance before and after pregnancy.

Most critical folks told me I should've informed the employee about performance issues before maternity. Lawyers say I made the right choice and protected the company.

It's a bit messed up that laws designed to protect women at work end up making things worse for them. Because of legal fear we went directly to a formal PIP with recorded calls with HR, the direct manager and others refused to do anything without legal advice. But in the end, she filed a case, so perhaps the cold approach recommended by lawyers was sadly correct.

Lastly, I finally saw that outside of my own business echo chamber (both men and women business people), society holds pregnant women and new moms valuable above all else. Someone like me who is a bachelor & slave to capitalism has a totally different set of values, as such some people think I'm fair game for insults. But I hope by making products of value I can make a positive impact in my own way.

Thanks for providing your perspectives.

Update: Firing an employee after maternity

Investor

I became a new father like a week ago and I work in hardware. It’s already very hectic and has low reward mechanisms. Within next week I will have to leave my baby & wife in the hometown with better care and attention to earn my living in the city. Its not like my org is forcing me & is calling me, in-fact they are nicest I have seen but wish ke thoda time aur hota with zero regrets.

Wish I had work from home!

In my company we have 1 leave per month. Basically after working all January a leave will be credited in February just like our salary and we get 12 leaves per month only (PTOs).
What is your leave structure. 

PS Can't share the company's name because there are only 6 employees.
