My wife was working in a company since Nov'2011 and Left company Mar'2014 . Later within 2-3 month she got an Offer from past employer to join back Organisation with better pay scale. By the time of re joining she was pregnant 5-6 month. She joined the company and worked for 3 month i.e. Aug-Sep-Oct'14. After that she went on Leave as she was on high time of pregnancy. But during her 3 months working she could not attain office for all days, instead she attained for around 60 days.
Now by the time of claiming maternity benefits, her company employer kept her lingering for 3 years and now they are saying that she is not eligible to get benefit of maternity as she did not attain all 80 days at Office. Whereas we believes that she was with company for all those 90 days but they are counting it on basis of attendance only.
Kindly help me to understand the Law sentence which states that, "This statute is based on the expectant mother being your employee for at least 80 days in the 12 months preceding the pregnancy." I think we deserve to claim benefits.
