She will be elegible for maternity benefit if she has worked for 80 days immediately preceeding the date of delivery in the preceeding 12 months. Take this test case: Date of delivery: 13-Nov-07 80 days immediately preceeding the date of delivery: 25-Aug-07 If she was an employee on 25-Aug-07 she is eligible for maternity benefit Preceeding 12 months means 12 months immediately before the date of delivery. In the test case 12th month will start in Nov'07 and 1st month will be Dec'06. Therefore if in this 12 months she has joined anytime before 25-Aug-07 she is eligible for maternity benefit. If she has joined at any time peior to Dec'07 then there is no doubt and she will be eligible for maternity benefit. Regards, Nilendra

Hi, By law you would be entitled to maternity leave. You should make an application to them from the date you would want the leave (i.e., not more than 6 weeks before delivery and the balance 0f 6 weeks after delivery date). This i say because you have cmpleted 80 days before yr delivery date rule. The extention as they are suggesting is also wrong. Regards, Abe PS: All the best.
