Apart from this, it also recommended six month maternity leave. Thats really a positive step. It relieves the young mothers of the mental stress while balancing their babies and working life. This helps in better care for home and children and also encourages more women to take up job. Seriously, this is a blessing for the family as a whole! ‘Flexible working hours’ and ‘creche facilities’ are not just for women scientists. 6th pay commission has recommened staggered working hours(flexible working hours ) and child care leave to be provided to women with minor children.
