Hello Azim
The Maternity Benefit Act 1961 does not lay down the manner in which the average of women employed daily in an establishment shall be calculated. Therefore in my view, in the absence of a statutory prescription, one can follow the normal mathematical method of calculating average in arriving at an average of women employed daily in an establishment, of course counting not only permanent women employees but those employed on part time or temporary basis or through contractor.
