What Forms Or Letters Should Hr Give To Employee Who Is Taking Maternity Leave

Raj Kumar Hansdah
Dear Rahul

This is a very sensitive issue. This is not just about the right of a female employee but more about the safety and well-being of an expectant mother and her unborn child.

You must be well aware that at the time of joining she will be well in her Third Trimester and within a few weeks of delivery.

Would it be wise to let her join in such condition for a few weeks before she proceeds on maternity leave ??

It is not just about physical stress but mental stress of being in a new work environment and its health effect on the mother and unborn baby.

You must also be aware that a model employer like the Government or in Public Sector Undertakings, in such cases the person is declared Temporarily Unfit and advised to join after delivery period is over.

Do you have a system of Medical Examination or access to the services of a Doctor ??

You can also seek Medical Advice.

Thereafter, you can counsel the prospective employee accordingly.

Do let us know if you have further queries on this.

Warm regards.
