Hi Anushri,
1. As per the Act, to be eligible for maternity benefit, a woman must have been working as an employee in an establishment for a period of at least 80 days in the past 12 months.
So if employee working continuously, then she is eligible.
2. Full pay
3. Please talk to your management and decide.
