📜 Maternity Provisions Under Bangladesh Labour Act 2006
The law protects expectant female workers in all industrial and commercial establishments:
- 16 Weeks Duration: Sections 46-48 entitle female workers to 16 weeks of fully paid leave (8 weeks preceding delivery and 8 weeks immediately following delivery).
- Calculation Formula (Section 48): The daily rate is determined by dividing total wages earned during the 3 months immediately preceding the date of notice by the number of days actually worked during that period. Total benefit = `Average Daily Wage × 112 days`.
- Two Children Limit (Section 46(3)): No maternity benefit is payable if the woman has two or more surviving children at the time of delivery, though unpaid leave may still be granted.
