MB Act does clearly specify 80 days working. It does not matter as to whether in confirmed service or probation. DOJ applies. pon

Hey all, as I see here everyone is saying that a woman is eligible to maternity benefits if she has worked in an establishment for atleast 80 days in the last 12 months but, according to the pdf I downloaded from the offcial govt site the time period specified is 160 days in the last 12 months.
What is the source of this 80 days policy everyone is talking about and may I please get an official copy of it?
I just had a miscarriage and my hospital is not providing me with the abortion leave citing the official notice which specifies a period of 160 days.
