2. Period of Lay-off / legal Strike
3. Approved leave for which an employee is paid.
4. Absence of temporary disablement due to Accident.
Also, provided that the qualifying period of eighty days aforesaid shall not apply to a woman who has immigrated into the state of Assam and was pregnant at the time of the immigration.
