Hi, I'm a sales officer in a bank. I got pregnant after joining the bank; this will be my 3rd baby. By right, a confirmed staff will be entitled to 3 months of paid maternity leave. However, as I'm still under 6 months probation, I might get an extended probation as I have been achieving sales targets all this while. My concern is, will I be entitled to 3 months or 2 months of paid maternity leave? Or unpaid maternity leave? Thanks.

This is the eligibility for claiming maternity leave.
No woman shall be entitled to maternity benefit unless she has actually worked in an establishment of the employer from whom she claims maternity benefit for a period of not less than eighty days in the twelve months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery.
Probation period is not mentioned in the Maternity Benefit Act.
