My HR is asking for a proper application and honestly im blank on how to word it. Im 7 months now and want to start maternity leave soon. Can someone share what they wrote or the format? thoda confused about what all to mention.
Haan beta, bas simple likho ki health thodi heavy ho rahi hai aur delivery ke baad aogi. Manager ko jaldi bata dena toh unko help ho jayegi. Ghar pe aaram karna zaroori hai is time pe.
Please keep it professional but simple. I had some sudden complications in my 7th month, so I had to take leave earlier than planned. Ask your doctor first if you need bed rest soon so you can plan the dates properly.
Honestly write a simple email to HR saying when u want to start. But first check with your gynac if you need a fitness certificate or an early leave date. Safe side par rehna humesha acha hota hai, especially in later months.
Lol just tell them you are leaving to go to sleep for 3 months, though honestly you won't get any sleep anyway! Actually write a formal draft saying 'applying for maternity leave from date X to Y' and CC your personal email too so you dont have to check work chats later.
Make sure you confirm with HR how many days are fully paid leave so your salary isn't cut when hospital bills start coming. Write the letter early and ask if medical insurance covers everything. Plan the dates so you get maximum paid off days after delivery.
