Wages for weekly off during the maternity leaves whether payable under Maternity Benefit Act for daily wage earner female employee.

The question related to “Wages for weekly whether also to be included while calculating the maternity benefit which will be payable to a female daily wage earner under Maternity Benefit Act, 1961?” has got different views altogether.

To explain this we can take reference of one of the case of High Court of Madras (Chennai) where it has mentioned that while the calculation of maternity benefit, it has to be made for all the days including weekly off days which are generally wage less days for a daily wage earner so as to ensure that such female worker gets for the said period not only the amount equivalent to 100% of the wages which she was previously earning in terms of Section 3 (n) of Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 but also the benefit for all the weekly off days falling in between said maternity period.
