I guess the only thing that matters if u can prove your work experience while being on maternity leave. I.e I was working during all my maternity leave from home, part time and occasionally visiting my office. Can i provide any confirmation like my tax documents or credit card bills from employer? No. I was paid in cash. That's why i droped these 2 years and didn't count them as my working experience. So,just make sure you Can confirm somehow that you received money from employer.Hows maternity leave treated while calculating the work experience.will it be deducted frm the total years of experience
