WHILE permanent women government staff working in the Ripon Building are entitled to a year's paid maternity leave, the contract staff of Chennai Corpration who work in the same building are often at the mercy of their respective department heads to avail maternity leave.
A 28-year-old contract staff Ajitha who returned to work after delivery in 2019 found out that she had been replaced. Four other women staff narrated similar stories.
"If we want maternity leave, sometimes two or three months are sanctioned on the condition that it will be unpaid leave. However, there is no guarantee that your job will be waiting for you upon return. In my case, thankfully there was a vacancy in another section of the department. Others were not so lucky," recounted Ajitha.
