When it comes time to issue a decree, many questions arise: what does a competent application for maternity leave look like, a sample of where to find what documents to attach and how to get the maximum possible allowance. After reading the following recommendations, you can find answers to them.
How to fill out an application
Maternity leave is issued upon application and the provision of a certificate of incapacity for work, which is the main attached document. The standard form - an application for maternity leave - contains a request to issue a vacation indicating the period from the certificate of incapacity for work. If there is a certificate confirming that the registration was made no later than the 12th week of pregnancy, then you can simultaneously ask to pay the allowance.
Requests for accrual and payment of two types of benefits can be included in one application for maternity leave, then the sample will have the following content:
"To the director of Iskra LLC
K. N. Zvezdochkin
an engineer
Maria Nikolaevna Kolmagorova
Statement.
Please provide me maternity leave from January 5 to May 24, 2015.
I ask you to appoint me and pay the allowance, which is due to be registered early.
Applications:
1. Disability certificate series No. ...
2. Certificate dated June 17, 2014 No. 55. "
Date, signature.
We collect earnings certificates
Currently, to determine the amount of any allowance, average earnings are calculated based on the results of two calendar years that passed before the decree. For example, if a decree is issued in 2015, then the calculation will take into account the amounts earned in 2013 and 2014. If you worked in other organizations during this period, then you need to attach to the application statements on the accrued amounts from these places of work, so that they are taken into account when calculating the allowance. Of course, it is better to draw up certificates immediately upon dismissal, but even after them you can always take them from the accounting department of the organization, except when it legally no longer exists. In such a situation, a request is made to receive information on earnings for past years from the Pension Fund to the accounting department of the organization in which you currently work.
A way to increase benefits
If a woman in the period used for the calculation was on maternity leave, then it is advisable to replace these years with others to increase the size of the allowance. Since the unified application form for maternity leave is not provided, it is written in free form and may have the following contents:
"Please provide me with a maternity leave from 09/02/2014 to 01/19/2015.
When calculating the average earnings for the allowance, I ask you to replace 2013 with 2011, since I was on parental leave from July 15, 2012 to November 21, 2013 and did not receive wages during this period. "
If necessary, if the accountant in your institution is not familiar with this calculation procedure, you can make a link to 255-FZ, specifically to the first part of article 14.
Maternity leave increase
Vacation can be extended if the pregnancy turned out to be multiple or complications occurred during childbirth, for example, an operation was performed. In this case, with the application of the issued certificate of incapacity for work, an application for extension of maternity leave is written with the following text:
“I ask you to extend maternity leave due to complicated births from January 21 to February 6, 2015 with accrual and payment of benefits for this period.”
Another type of maternity leave
According to labor law, the mother of the child is also entitled to maternity leave until his three-year anniversary. Most often they write with a maximum term a maternity leave application. A sample content is as follows:
“I ask you to provide me with parental leave from 01/21/2015 until they reach the age of three.
I ask you to assign and pay a monthly allowance for childcare up to one and a half years. "
Applications:
- Copy of the birth certificate of the child.
- A certificate confirming that the father of the child did not take the above leave and does not receive benefits (taken from the place of work).
If it is necessary to replace the years in the billing period, this is also immediately indicated in the statement.
Despite the fact that the leave is issued for three years, a woman can interrupt him by writing a statement that she starts work ahead of schedule. Also, during this period, leave can be taken in whole or in part, which should be indicated in the text of the application. Many women think that they will go to work when the child is one and a half years old. The main motive is the lack of vacation pay during this period. But when the time comes, they extend the vacation to the end. It’s easier to write an application for early withdrawal than to collect certificates when renewing.
In rare cases, a woman can extend her vacation until the child is 6 years old, he or she is drawn up either with the consent of the employer or for medical reasons.
In any case, maternity leave is a woman’s right, and she can use it, as she wants, even to hand it over to someone from close relatives after giving birth, only in this case to collect certificates confirming that no one else took leave during this period will have a lot more.
Using the proposed options, it is easy to draw up any necessary application for maternity leave, the sample text is changed in accordance with the available documents. It is better to collect all the necessary certificates in advance: the closer the date of delivery, the more new problems arise and less time for collecting documents. You also need to determine when the right to take leave will be used so that you do not have to spend extra time writing applications and collecting documents.
