Hi Everyone,
As per the Maternity Benefit Act, a female employee is eligible for maternity leave if she has worked for at least 80 days in preceding 12 months from the date of her expected delivery.
I want to know, will we exclude holidays, weekly off and leaves taken by the female employee while calculating those 80 working days?
Another thing I want to know is, "Do we have any different rules/regulations for the Universities pertaining to Eligibility Criteria for Maternity Benefits?
Rgds,

Under Explanation To Section 5(2), all legal holidays will be included in calculation of Maternity Benefit.
From India, Kolkata
A female employee joined the organization on 19-Sep-16. She applied for maternity leave from 02-Nov-16. Her Expected date of Delivery is 27-Dec-16.
from 19-sep to 2-nov, she has'nt worked for 80 days hence she will not be eligible for maternity leaves as per the act.
I hope I am correct with this.
