Maternity leave is granted to every woman by law. The same law (Article 255 of the Labor Code) states that a worker has the right to it, and it will continue 70 days before childbirth and 70 days after - if they passed successfully. Moreover, if for some reason the birth of the baby happened earlier, suppose, for 7 days, these days are automatically added to the postpartum
vacation. In any case, maternity is obtained 140 days. And if the birth was complicated, then the postpartum rest lasts up to 86 days, and if the pregnancy is multiple, up to 110 days. In addition, you can take a vacation after maternity leave, at the request of a woman. In order for you to be given maternity leave at work, you must provide a sick leave certificate, which you must receive in the antenatal clinic from your doctor, who is registered for pregnancy. It is issued when the gestational age reaches 30 weeks. A woman can take another leave after maternity leave at will. At her discretion, can walk off to him. And if it’s more convenient for her, she can also take a rest after the end of the care leave (Art. 260 TC). Moreover, this right is exercised regardless of the length of service a woman has in this organization. You can also write at the place of work a statement about the establishment of a part-time week or a shorter working day for
maternity leave
, but in this situation you will be paid either maternity or wages. If your employer gives the green light for your shortened working day or part-time week, you must provide a medical certificate with this recommendation (Article 93 of the Labor Code).
The next vacation after maternity leave is given regardless of whether it corresponds to the priority schedule drawn up for this year or not. A care leave can only begin after the next one has ended, because you cannot be at one time in both. Vacation after maternity leave is especially relevant for those women who do not want to take rest on child care at all, or have decided to work a shorter working day instead.
Any citizen who will take care of the newborn, whether it is a father, mother, grandparents or someone else, can take maternity leave after maternity leave. The allowance will be received by those who care for the baby. Its minimum size up to one and a half years will be 2326 rubles - this is for the first child, for each subsequent - 4651.99. If the child is taken care of by a person who participated in the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, these benefits will be paid in double amount until the child is 3 years old.
Dismissal after maternity leave of their own free will is possible, while the woman is required to pay compensation for leave that has not been used. It is calculated in proportion to the hours worked from the day of hiring in this organization, and all days worked that are less than half a month are reclined, and all days that make up more than half a month are considered as a whole (Article 127 of the Labor Code). For the entire maternity and maternity leave, the woman's workplace is maintained.
An employee can be dismissed without her consent only if this organization is liquidated. Then the employee must be warned about this for 2 months. If for some reason the employer refused to
pay maternity or care leave, the employee has the right to sue him and will definitely win it.
