The performance cycle cannot await the exhaustion of maternity leave; otherwise, there cannot be a uniform cycle for all. Additionally, the maternity leave would not coincide with the performance cycle, leaving some period in the cycle for conducting evaluations. The period during which the employee worked could be considered for performance appraisals.
Considering Key Results Areas (KRAs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
When considering Key Results Areas (KRAs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), the anticipated duration of maternity leave during the cycle must be taken into account. In other words, short-term projects should be considered, or performance milestones need to be adjusted accordingly.

Hi,
The applicability of performance appraisals during maternity leave can depend on company policies and labor laws. In many cases, employees on maternity leave may still undergo performance appraisals, but the evaluation may need to take into account the employee's circumstances during the leave period.
Some organizations may choose to postpone appraisals until the employee returns from maternity leave, while others may conduct the appraisal based on the work completed before the leave or consider the employee's contributions leading up to the leave.
It's crucial to check with your company's human resources department or refer to your organization's policies to understand the specific procedures and guidelines regarding performance appraisals during maternity leave. Additionally, local labor laws may also provide certain protections and guidelines for employees on maternity leave, so it's advisable to be aware of any relevant regulations in your jurisdiction.
Thanks,

Performance appraisal during maternity leave
The concept of performance appraisal arises only when someone does the work and delivers performance. During the performance appraisal year, a part of the period might have been spent on maternity leave for a female employee. In such cases, generally, the management tends to consider a minimum increment. The provisions of the Maternity Act provide for payment of full salary during the period of maternity leave (26 weeks). Apart from that, it does not stipulate anything else. It is at the discretion of the management, based on the past performance of the individual, to consider an appropriate revision in salary.
