How do I get paid maternity leave?

In some countries, paid maternity leave and sometimes there is a leave for paternity, it is available to all workers as a matter of government policy. In other places there is a paid maternity leave an advantage that some employers offer, but there is no law that requires the employer to provide parental leave to their employees. In such places, if you want paid maternity leave, you may have to decide to work for an employer who offers such a benefit or use of the saved time on holiday, illness, illness or short -term insurance to cover time off for delivery. You may also need to deal with your employer to get the day off you need. Similarly, if you work for an employer who voluntarily provides paid maternity leave, your employer may request a leaving time to issue a preliminary notice. Usually this type of notification policy is included in your employee's manualat. If you are unclear in the process, you should contact your office for human resources and find out what you need to do.

In situations where you are not entitled to legal maternity leave and your employer does not automatically provide paid maternity leave, you may have to start working with your employer to use your current benefits such as holiday time, sick time and disability insurance to give you paid maternity leave. In such cases, you may be able to use the whole or part of the leisure that you would normally get into your maternity leave, and you may be able to cope with your short -term insurance disability.

If you need to use your short -term disability insurance to cover postpartum periods, you should make sure that insurance actually covers the recovery time of pregnancy and childbirth. You can also be protectedKONY that give you unpaid holiday during or after pregnancy to get your work back after returning to work. If you have neither short -term disability insurance nor a significant number of benefits earned, you may need to ask your employer for further accommodation after you have your child, such a shorter working day or a telecommunications opportunity.
