Dear Rajabhujanga
In terms of the explanation to sec.79, the period of maternity leave is to be included only for the purpose of computing 240 days so as to determine the eligibility of an employee to avail annual leave but not for determinimg the leave that is actually earned by a worker during the calender year.If you read the explanation fourther, it says that a worker shall not earn any leave for the days she is on maternity leave or any other leave avialed or the period of lay-off in the relevant calender year.
