Dear LJMCD,
In layman's language, the working days include the days for which the woman was paid wages or salaries, that is all the 7 days of the week if the office observes 5 days week, if she is paid for all the 7 days during 5-day work week.
The Explanation below Sec.5 of the Maternity Benefits Act amply clarifies that. he extract of the Explanation is reproduced below for your guidance:
Explanation.—For the purpose of calculating under the sub-section the days on which a woman has actually worked in the establishment [the days for which she has been laid off or was on holidays declared under any law for the time being in force to be holidays with wages] during the period of twelve months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery shall be taken into account.
