Detail of Maternity Leave

 

The female employee will apply pre-confinement leave for 45 days on the basis of medical certificate issued by the doctor. After the birth of the baby, the employee will again apply for the post-confinement leave for 45 days on the production of birth certificate. If the birth of the baby is late and exceeds 45 days then the post-confinement leave will be reduced to maximum total 90 days.

    1. Dear
      1- (Not confirm) But according to my knowledge it will be medical leave.
      2- After child birth maximum 45 leaves are allowed. If she availed 50 leaves prior to the birth of baby then she will only avail 40 leaves.
      3- During vacation it is not necessary. However if some leaves are to be covered in summer then she must give the Medical / Birth certificate. If 90 leaves during the vacation then no need.
      4- She will not without pay he leave will be deducted from leave account, however if there are no leaves in credit or less leaves then, on half leave or without pay.
      5- Medical docket can issue immediate boss.
