Clause 100

A female workman shall give notice to her employer that she expects to be confined within one month from the date of such notice.

A female workman who has been confined shall, within seven days from her confinement, give notice to her employer of the date on which she was confined.

Any female workman who omits to give notice as required under subsections (1) and (2) of this section shall forfeit her claim for any maternity allowance to which she is entitled unless she was prevented by any sufficient cause from the giving of such notice.

The employer shall on receipt of a notice from the female workman under subsection (1) of this section permit such female workman to absent herself from employment until the expiry of four weeks after the day of her confinement.

A female workman who gives notice under subsections (1) and (2) of this section may in such notice nominate some other person to whom her maternity allowance may be paid on her behalf; and any payment of any maternity allowance made to the person so nominated, shall for the purpose of this Act be deemed to be payment to the female workman who nominated such person.
