If you go on maternity leave after 30 weeks. Maternity leave

Hello Lily!

In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated June 29, 2011 N 624n (as amended on July 2, 2014) “On approval of the procedure for issuing sick leave certificates”
46. A sick leave certificate for pregnancy and childbirth is issued by an obstetrician-gynecologist, in his absence - by a general practitioner (family doctor), and in the absence of a doctor - by a paramedic. The issuance of a certificate of incapacity for work for pregnancy and childbirth SHALL BE CARRIED OUT at 30 WEEKS of pregnancy at a time for 140 calendar days (70 calendar days before delivery and 70 calendar days after delivery).
At multiple pregnancy sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth is issued at 28 WEEKS of pregnancy at a time for 194 calendar days (84 calendar days before childbirth and 110 calendar days after childbirth).
In the event that a woman, when applying to a medical organization, REFUSES IN THE SET TIME to receive a certificate of incapacity for work for pregnancy and childbirth for the period of maternity leave, her refusal is recorded in the medical records. WHEN A woman RE-APPLYS before delivery for a certificate of incapacity for work for pregnancy and childbirth for registration of leave for pregnancy and childbirth, a certificate of incapacity for work IS ISSUED for 140 calendar days (for 194 calendar days - in case of multiple pregnancy) FROM THE PERIOD established by the first or second paragraphs of this paragraph.

That is sick leave will be issued to you at the 28th or 30th week of pregnancy, if you decide to refuse at this time and apply for sick leave later, you will be given a sick leave, anyway from the date of the 30-week period. When providing the employer with such a sheet, the calculation will go from the date of its submission, and not from the date of the specified period.

In accordance with the Federal Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children” - if a woman does not use the right to the specified maternity leave and continues to work (and, accordingly, receive wages), then she is not entitled to benefits.

That is, the sick leave is STRICTLY LINKED TO THE DATE OF PREGNANCY, and it is from the date of issue that the calculation of the maternity benefit and the monthly maternity benefit will take place. If an insured event (issuance of a sick leave from 28-30 weeks of pregnancy) - 2016, the year of the occurrence of the insured event.

The settlement period of the maternity benefit will be made for 2014 and 2015 - the fully worked two years are taken, before the year of the insured event.
An approximate calculation of benefits is as follows: Sum up the payments of these periods (excluding sick days, days if you were released from work without pay, if any), then divide this amount by 730 (the total number of calendar days). multiply the result by 140.
The amount received is your B&R payment. This allowance is paid as a lump sum for the entire vacation period.

All the best!

If there additional questions- contact.

Sincerely! legal adviser Tatyana Kurdyukova.

Good health and material interest often motivate a pregnant employee to continue working. Can a woman go on maternity leave later than the due date and how will this affect the amount of benefits?

Today, there is no official name for "maternity leave". The Labor Code introduced the term "maternity leave", and all the rights of a woman are specified in Law No. 255-FZ.

Each officially employed employee can go on vacation:

at 30 weeks of gestation (when carrying 1 child);
at 28 weeks (when diagnosing a multiple pregnancy);
at week 27 (for women living in polluted regions).

It is important to consider that the calculation of the timing of leaving the workplace is carried out according to obstetric calculations. The exact day of the beginning of the decree is set by the gynecologist. It is calculated depending on the duration of pregnancy and is conducted from the day when the woman was registered in the gynecology department.

Decree terms

If a woman intends to go on maternity leave later than the deadline, the amount of the allowance will be reduced.

For example, if a woman went on vacation later than expected and worked 20 additional days before giving birth, they are not included in the calculation of benefits. The average daily earnings (600 rubles) are multiplied by 120 days. It turns out the amount of 72,000 rubles. Thus, the allowance is significantly reduced in size.

To work or not after the onset of the decree, the woman decides. On the material side, if her salary exceeds the amount monthly allowance by childbirth, it makes sense for her to remain in her position. And you, as an employer, must remember that the days that the employee worked will not be included in the calculation of benefits.

Good afternoon, dear readers. Today we’ll talk about whether it is possible to go on maternity leave later than the deadline.

Today you will learn:

Generally accepted deadlines for issuing a decree;
Is it possible and how to go on maternity leave later than the deadline;
List of documents for calculating maternity leave.

What is maternity leave

So, maternity leave combines two different kind holidays. This is maternity leave and up to three years. Let's talk about the first one.

Maternity leave is designed to solve two problems:

Allow to prepare for the birth of a child;
To be able to constantly be with the newborn in the first months of his life.

The most common (generally accepted) period of maternity leave: 70 days before and 70 days after the end of childbirth (140 calendar days in total). But there are always exceptions.

Is your co-worker having twins? She has 194 days. Moreover, if the twins are known in advance, then leave is provided for 84 days before and 110 after the end of childbirth. If the twins were found only in the delivery room, then the vacation will simply last for 54 days. If the mother had a difficult birth, 16 days will be added to the vacation.

We count the date of vacation

Registered in the antenatal clinic, the expectant mother with her gynecologist calculates 40 weeks of pregnancy to determine the date of the baby's appearance.

At the 19th week, an ultrasound examination is performed. Based on its results, you can find out the sex of the unborn child, consider the number of children, and more accurately determine the timing of pregnancy. And also to determine the specific date of receipt of the sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth, which is mandatory for receiving leave.

When the pregnancy future mother proceeds normally, she goes on vacation at 30 weeks. If an ultrasound detects twins (and maybe triplets), the expectant mother will go on vacation at 28 weeks. If your area is unfavorable, the vacation for the expectant mother is set at 27 weeks.

Sometimes unforeseen situations occur, such as premature birth. Then the sick leave is issued from the date of birth of the child for 156 days and the vacation has to be issued urgently.

Another exceptional case: your employee decided to adopt a newborn baby. In this situation, she is entitled (and, accordingly, vacation) for 70 days.

Is it possible to go on maternity leave later than the deadline

In addition to the health of the unborn baby, at this moment, an equally important issue arises before the expectant mother. The question of financial security. After all, we understand that no allowance can be compared in size with wages.

Therefore, very often an employee wants to “push back” her maternity leave. And if the expectant mother is a highly qualified employee, you are also interested in reducing the time of her absence from the company.

So, the “maternity leave” can continue to work (for quite legal reasons) even after 30 weeks of pregnancy. However, this does not mean that maternity leave can be rescheduled.

In this situation, the vacation is reduced by the number of officially worked days. For the time worked, the employee will receive a regular salary. But the sick leave period and the amount of the benefit will decrease in proportion to the hours worked (the employee must notify the antenatal clinic of her decision to reduce the sick leave period by working days).

But the desire of the expectant mother and the capabilities of her body do not always coincide. If, nevertheless, mommy could not work (for health reasons, for example), her gynecologist has the right to restore the sick leave from 30 weeks retroactively.

To avoid such pitfalls, many employers go the other way. Maternity is issued from the due date of 30 weeks. And those days that the employee devoted to work are simply issued with a bonus (in agreement with the "maternity leave").

At this time, the employee is not time-sheeted and is at the workplace as long as her status of the expectant mother allows. Thus, there is no violation of the law. And there will be no health risks either.

Documents for registration of maternity leave

Let me remind you that we are now talking about the first part of maternity leave, namely maternity leave. It is issued upon presentation of a sick leave issued by a antenatal clinic (only for officially employed workers).

So, a list of all the required documents for calculating your employee's vacation:

Sick leave (140 days in a standard case);
Certificate of registration in early dates pregnancy (if any);
Application for leave, written personally!
Information about a bank card or account (for transferring benefits);
Income statement for the previous 2 years (if the employee has been working in your company recently, otherwise this information is in your accounting department).

On the basis of these documents, the personnel draw up an order for vacation, it is paid by accruing sick leave benefits.

We calculate the amount of the allowance

The amount of the sick leave payment for pregnancy and childbirth is 100% of the average daily earnings, (regardless of insurance experience employee) multiplied by the number of days of sick leave (in the general case, 140 days).

However, there are minimum and maximum limits on the amount of the benefit. In 2019, this is 51,918.80 rubles. and 301,095.96 rubles. respectively (at the same time, do not forget to multiply the amount received by the district coefficient).

We also remember that from the first of January it was raised to 11,280 rubles.

As a result, our calculation formula will look like this:

SP=D/730*140, Where:

SP - the amount of the allowance;
D- income for the previous two years;
730 – number of days (2017 and 2018);
140 – standard sick leave.

This is the ideal calculation. There are exceptions in life. For example, if during the previous two years a woman was on sick leave, on parental leave or on maternity leave, then this time is excluded from the billing period. However, in the last two cases, this time for calculation is allowed to be replaced by previous years.

If the employee decided to "stay", then the formula for calculating benefits will be as follows:

SP=D/730*(140-RD), Where:

RD - number of working days.

And one more very important nuance: if your employee “didn’t have time to work at all” (the experience was less than 6 months), then the allowance is calculated based on the minimum wage.

Well, we have considered in detail the option of going on maternity leave later than the deadline. We hope the article was useful to you. Now you can definitely answer all the questions about the "reduced" maternity leave.

Maternity leave(BiR, in everyday life just decree) is a social guarantee for working women, as well as for those undergoing military or equivalent service under a contract. It is provided to pregnant women so that they can prepare for childbirth, and after the birth of the baby, relax, recover and devote time to the newborn.

The right to maternity leave is enshrined in Art. 255 Labor Code(TK) RF (No. 197-FZ of December 30, 2001). The law states that the decree is accompanied by the payment of social security benefits.

B&R leave is granted both for native (born) children and for adopted children under the age of 3 months.
Do not confuse maternity leave (maternity leave) and childcare leave up to 1.5 years old. In a legal sense, these are completely different periods.

A feature of maternity leave in Russia is that it can be issued only woman.

Sometimes they write or say that dad can be sent on maternity leave. This implies Holiday to care for the child, but not according to BiR.
According to Art. 123 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, for the period of the wife’s decree, a man can only be provided out of turn annual paid vacation.

New law No. 201-FZ dated June 29, 2015, amended the conditions for granting maternity leave for fixed-term employment contract. If earlier the employer was obliged to extend the contract with the employee only for the period of pregnancy until the birth of the child, now the woman is given statutory postnatal leave, which gives her the right to receive maternity benefits in full (for 140, 156 or 194 days of the decree).

How many weeks is issued

The period at which a woman can legally go on maternity leave - 30 weeks. To go on vacation, you need to get maternity sick leave from the doctor. The document will indicate the start and end dates of the decree.

In some cases, set other terms decree execution:

27 weeks - for expectant mothers living in a certain area contaminated due to the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the Mayak plant and some others.
28 weeks - with multiple pregnancy.
If a woman had a premature birth between 22 and 30 weeks - from the day of birth.

An obstetrician-gynecologist does not have the right to open a sick leave date later than the beginning of the 30th week of pregnancy. However, the woman herself has the right to go on maternity leave later - this must be indicated directly in the application for this leave.

In particular, it may be in the interests of a woman to postpone the start date of the decree - if it falls at the end of the year, it is sometimes more expedient to postpone it at the beginning of next year despite several lost days payable on sick leave. This is done to be used as a calculated current calendar year- as a rule, more profitable in terms of earnings.

How many days is legal

According to Art. 7 of the Law on State Benefits No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1995, as well as other regulatory documents, the duration of maternity leave in 2018 may vary. The number of days of the decree depends on the place of residence and work of the woman, the characteristics of the course of childbirth, the number of children born.

Vacation in BiR is divided into two conditional parts - prenatal and postnatal. The number of days for each of them is counted by a gynecologist from the expected date of birth.
If the child is born earlier, anyway, as a result, the woman will be given total number of days maternity leave.

Below is the duration of B&R leave before and after childbirth for different categories of women.

Maternity leave table

Conditions	Length of maternity leave in days
Conditions	Before giving birth	After childbirth	Total
The usual course of pregnancy and childbirth	70	70	140
The same for women living or working on the territory contaminated after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the Mayak plant or waste dumping into the river. Techa (hereinafter - in the contaminated area)	90	70	160
Normal pregnancy, complicated delivery	70	86	156
The same for women living or working in the "Chernobyl zone"	90	86	176
Preterm birth (between 22 and 30 obstetric weeks)	0	156	156
Multiple pregnancy established before 30 weeks	84	110	194
Multiple pregnancy established at birth	70	124	194

For pregnant women who live or work in contaminated areas, maternity leave extended by 20 days due to the prenatal period. In accordance with the law No. 1244-1 dated May 15, 1991, during this period, it is planned to conduct their rehabilitation outside the contamination zone before delivery.

For woman, adoptive baby under the age of 3 months, the duration of the decree may be shorter:

The leave begins to be counted from the day when the court decision on adoption comes into force.
The decree lasts until the expiration of 70 calendar days after the birth of the baby (or up to 110 days after the birthday of the adopted twins).

Making maternity leave

To go on maternity leave, a pregnant woman must provide the employer sick leave from an obstetrician-gynecologist and write statement about your desire to take a vacation in BiR. It is important for the employee to take maternity leave for two reasons:

to get a B&R allowance;
to follow her job was saved for the period of maternity leave, as well as the subsequent care of a child up to 3 years.

In return for the application and the hospital personnel department provided by the woman, the personnel department issues her a notification-receipt of the acceptance of documents (written in free form, the second copy remains with the organization).

The start date of the decree may coincide with that indicated on the disability certificate, or it may be postponed to a later period (only at the request of the woman and her application). At the same time, the decree itself will not be transferred to more late deadline, but will be reduced, since it will end no later than the date indicated in the sick leave.

Decree sick leave

Disability certificate issued on official letterhead, approved by the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of June 29, 2011 No. 624n. It is a document of strict accountability and has a unique number. The first part of the form is filled in medical institution, the second (for calculating maternity benefits) - employer women.

Basic requirements for filling out sick leave (valid for both the doctor and the employer):

Cells are filled with large printed Russian letters and numbers, which should not go beyond the cell.
Entries can be made on a printer or handwritten with a black gel, fountain, or other pen (but not a ballpoint pen).
Any blots, strikethroughs and errors are prohibited. Even with one strikethrough, you need to change the form and rewrite it all over again.
The name of the employing organization can be written in full or abbreviated form (if such a form is provided for by the constituent documents).
If the inscription (name of the enterprise, surname of the doctor and others) does not fit in the line, it is simply interrupted in the last cell.

The employer must carefully check the correctness of filling out the sick leave, because the FSS may not accept an incorrectly completed document. Correctly and finally completed sick leave is transferred to the accounting department for the calculation of B&R benefits.

If an error is found, the disability certificate is returned to the woman, who must re-apply to the medical institution for a new document.
An incorrect name of the insured organization is not considered a mistake, because the FSS can recognize it by its registration number.

Application for maternity leave

The application is the main reason for starting maternity leave. It is written in free form and registered with the employer. There is no approved application form. Certain information must be included in the document. These include:

Details of the organization, full name of the head.
Full name of the employee without abbreviations (you can also indicate the position).
Details of an identity document.
Information about the place of registration and residence.
Please provide leave for BiR.
Request for maternity allowance and lump sum when registering in early pregnancy (optional).
Desired method of receiving benefits, card details.
The number and date of the sick leave according to BiR.
Signature of the employee, last name and date of filling out the application.

Being on maternity leave is the basis for assigning a woman a maternity allowance. In this case, most often one combined application is filled out - both for vacation and for payments for it on sick leave.

Order for maternity leave

After the application and the sick leave were received from the woman at the place of work, the personnel department of the enterprise forms maternity leave order. The form of the document is not clearly regulated by law; as a basis, one can take unified form No. T-6 or develop your own.

The order must contain the following information:

name of the insurer;
date and document number;
Full name of the employee, personnel number, name of her position and structural unit;
type of leave (for pregnancy and childbirth);
grounds for granting the decree;
vacation start and end dates, its duration;
Full name of the head of the organization, his signature.

Employee familiarizes with the order without fail, signed and dated. Ideally, she is provided with a copy of the document. After that, it is written on the order that he is sent to the personal file of the employee.

On the basis of the order, data on the decree are entered into the personal card (form No. T-2) of the employee. The fact that a woman is on leave for BiR is reflected in the time sheet (form No. T-12 or any other established by the organization).

How is maternity leave paid?

BiR leave is paid in full, from the first to last day. The allowance is transferred at the same time at the woman's expense for the entire period.

The main criteria for calculating payment for maternity leave:

For each full month of the decree, a woman is entitled to an amount equal to 100% of the average monthly earnings in the organization for the last two calendar years(Article 11 of Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006).
With very little or no earnings, as well as with work experience in the organization up to 6 months. calculation and payment is made according to the current value minimum size wages (SMIC). From February 1, 2018, the minimum wage is 9,489 rubles, however, increasing regional coefficients are applied to this figure.
The maximum amount of payment is regulated using the bases for calculating insurance premiums. The incomes of the worker for a certain year are compared with their values.

If there are several employers for whom a woman has been working for more than two years, the decree is paid each of them. At the same time, the payment for child care can be issued only with one of the insurers.

Maternity leave paid only if sick leave was granted not later than six months after the end of the decree. Otherwise, the woman may need to prove her eligibility for the B&D benefit in court.

Calculation of maternity leave

Calculation of maternity leave allowance bookkeeping is carried out enterprises (or employees of the Social Insurance Fund, if there is a pilot project in the region "Direct Payouts") according to the established procedure. This takes into account the following data:

The total earnings of a woman for the two calendar years preceding the maternity leave. For those whose maternity leave will begin in 2018, 2016 and 2017 will be calculated.
The length of the calculation period (in 2016-2017 - 731 days).
The number of days "falling out" of the billing period due to being on sick leave, parental leave, etc.

Maternity leave is calculated in the following order:

the exact number of days in the billing period is calculated (outliers are subtracted from 731);
the average daily earnings are found (the total income for two years is divided by the number of days calculated in the previous paragraph);
is the size lump sum payment(average daily earnings are multiplied by the number of days of maternity leave, which is taken from sick leave).

The amount of the allowance must fit within certain limits. In 2018 for 140 days of vacation minimum maternity benefit is 43,615.65
rub. (at the rate of 9,489 rubles for each full month), maximum- RUB 282,106.70

FSS online calculator

To facilitate calculations and pre-calculate the amount that a woman can count on after going on maternity leave, an online calculator on the FSS website will help. It is based on the above method for calculating maternity leave. This is how the size of the allowance for an accountant at the enterprise and in the FSS is considered.

You need to carefully fill in the fields:

Type of disability (pregnancy and childbirth).
Enter the dates of the period of disability indicated in the sick leave.
If a woman has been on parental leave during the past two years, she can replace the years of calculation.
In the "Terms of calculation" enter the amount of earnings for 2016-2017. (or another billing period), the number of days excluded from the calculation, carefully check the boxes.
You can pay attention to the column “Work experience” only if the experience does not exceed six months in this organization.

Maternity leave payment

Decree payment is made from the Social Insurance Fund (FSS). In general, the process occurs in the following sequence:

Woman writing a letter to the employer for maternity leave and allowance.
The term for making a decision at the place of work on the payment of vacation and the calculation of maternity benefits - in the general case 10 calendar days.
There is a certain period of time for the transfer of money. The employer must transfer funds on the first day of payroll along with the wages of other employees.
The employer (insured) initially pays money from their own funds, and only then does the FSS reimburse him the payment by reducing the insurance premiums payable and / or paying compensation.
In some constituent entities of the Russian Federation, where the Direct Payments project operates, vacation is paid to a woman directly from the territorial body of the FSS (although the application for a decree is written to the employer anyway, its calculation and payment is carried out by social insurance workers). At the same time, the FSS has the right to pay maternity leave until the 26th day of the month following the application for maternity leave.

Together with the payment for pregnancy and childbirth, you can apply for a one-time allowance, which is issued upon early registration in a medical institution. Its size in 2018 is 628.47 rubles. To receive this amount, the employee must provide the employer with a certificate from the antenatal clinic and write a corresponding application.

Conclusion

Maternity leave (maternity leave) workers, students and employees women. Its duration ranges from 140-214 days. In a normal situation go on maternity leave at 30 weeks pregnancy. To do this, in the antenatal clinic it is necessary to issue a sick leave, provide it to the employer (in educational institution, at the place of service) and write an application for leave.

The maternity period is paid in the amount 100% of average monthly income women. Payment is transferred once for the entire period of vacation in BiR at the woman's expense. Maternity allowance is paid to female workers for whom the employer pays insurance premiums.

For women who are officially employed, sooner or later the question of maternity leave becomes. But these terms are not for everyone. Some want to leave early, while others prefer to work, as they say, "until the last". Today we will consider whether it is possible to go on maternity leave later and how not to lose cash payments.

In anticipation of the baby, every woman undergoes changes in the body. As the fetus grows, it is subjected to heavy loads.

By the end of the 30th week, it becomes difficult for expectant mothers to move around, there are swelling of the limbs, and back pain. Therefore, you can go on maternity leave for a period of 30 weeks. She will be able to prepare everything necessary for the appearance of the baby.

The decree conditionally includes maternity and parental leave.

Maternity leave dates depend on several factors:

With a singleton pregnancy, mommy can safely go on vacation, reaching 30 weeks;
A woman who is expecting twins can expect to be sent on maternity leave for a period of 28 weeks;
Workers living in a territory with poor ecology can go to - at 27 weeks.

Maternity leave lasts about 70 days before the onset of labor and 70 days after the birth of the baby. If two children are born, then you can count on large quantity days: 84 days before the birth of children, and 110 days after their birth.

So, we can say that you can go on maternity leave after reaching the 30-week period. Only if there are any complications, maternity leave can move down.

How to correctly calculate the date of your decree

When registering at the clinic, 40 weeks of pregnancy is calculated to determine the date of the expected birth. This calculation is approximate. Only after the first screening will it be possible to objectively say about the expected timing of the birth of the child.

It is determined depending on the development of the baby in the womb. Then you can already clearly understand in what numbers you can get a sick leave for maternity leave.

Depending on the number of children and the course of pregnancy, the terms of the decree may vary. A woman who is expecting twins will be able to safely issue a maternity leave upon reaching 28 weeks, and in case of complications, you can count on a paid decree starting from the 27th week.

When premature birth, a sick leave is already issued for 156 days, and maternity leave is already being issued urgently.

Not only pregnant women, but also adoptive parents can apply for maternity leave. baby. In this case, a vacation of 70 days is provided.

The date of departure on vacation directly depends on the condition of the pregnant woman. In the case of a good pregnancy, the employee goes on maternity leave at the prescribed 30 weeks.

In case of health problems, a woman in labor can leave three weeks ahead of schedule. In this case, there will be no more payments, they will be calculated based on earnings, but in no case will they exceed the amount established by the state.

Can I go on maternity leave later?

Working women are entitled to paid maternity leave. Of course, the amount of the allowance will not correspond to the salary of the expectant mother. Therefore, most workers express a desire to work to the last.

According to the legislation, this option is not prohibited, but the amount of cash payments that she will receive from the state will be slightly modified for the employee. In such a situation, from maternity days, which are provided for by law, the number of days that the expectant mother worked at the enterprise and for which she received a salary will be deducted. When making such a decision, it is necessary to contact the antenatal clinic and warn that she decided to postpone her maternity leave for a certain period of time.

There are exceptions, based on which it is possible to put maternity leave retroactively. This happens if the body still could not cope with the stress, and there was a threat of premature birth. Then the employees of the antenatal clinic have the right to put the sick leave retroactively.

Maternity leave is possible later than the due date, but there is a risk of losing part of the payments that a woman should receive for pregnancy and childbirth. It is worth weighing everything before making such a responsible decision. After all, if wages are several times higher, then you can move your maternity leave.

How can I officially move the decree

Comparing the size of the official allowance and wages, any woman wants to receive decent wages as much as possible. Therefore, the question is how to stay at work as long as possible and receive wages in full. When drawing up a decree, the question is whether it is possible to receive payments, but at the same time remain at your workplace.

It is possible to receive full-fledged maternity payments, and remain at work. Only in this case, it is necessary to agree with the management. So, a woman draws up a legal decree and continues to work, and the salary is accrued under the guise of bonuses.

In this case, a woman has the right to devote a minimum amount of time to work. You don't have to sit full time. It is enough to appear at work 2-3 hours a day to complete the required amount of work.

In this case, a good relationship with management will play into the hands. If there is an opportunity to agree, then it is worth trying on mutually beneficial terms.

Thus, if a woman decided to officially postpone her vacation, then she needs to think through all the nuances in advance. It is possible not only to receive deductions for pregnancy and childbirth, but also to receive wages by performing simple tasks at work. Worth supporting a good relationship with the management, so that in the future it would be possible to agree on partial pay during maternity leave.

Is it beneficial?

If you decide to go on maternity leave after 30 weeks, you should consider whether it will be beneficial for you. Indeed, in this situation, you are not immune from possible risks:

preterm birth. Childbirth can begin at 32 and 38 weeks. At this stage, the woman will not receive payments in full.
There is a risk of not receiving full wages. After all, a woman can work for only a few weeks, for which she will receive only part of the salary, and lose part of the cash payments.
Deterioration in health. At such times, it becomes more difficult for a woman to move around and maintain a full-fledged work schedule. Firstly, it is fraught with poor health and a threat to life for the expectant mother and her child. Secondly, if you feel worse, the work done will not always be productive.

In order to make it profitable to go on maternity leave later than the scheduled date, it is necessary to maintain good relations with the employer. Then a woman can safely go on maternity leave at 30 weeks, and at the same time remain in the workplace, without threatening her own health and without losing money.

Can I not take maternity leave?

With the advent of time for maternity leave, the question becomes, is it possible not to issue it at all? It is possible, only in the case when the mother wants to secure a job and return to her duties immediately after the birth of the baby, or rather, 70 days after his birth. So, a woman in labor will receive benefits for pregnancy and childbirth, and cash payments for child care can be issued by any relative.

Thus, not only a pregnant woman, but also her next of kin can go on maternity leave. They can be not only the husband of a pregnant woman, but also her mother or father.

Who is eligible for maternity leave?

Few people know that not only mom and dad can issue a decree, but also their parents. Accordingly, both grandmother and grandfather can go on maternity leave.

Many grandparents fear that they will simply lose their seniority, which affects the timing of retirement. Grandparents have exactly the same rights as mom and dad. The employee's job is retained for three years. At the end of the decree, both grandmother and grandfather can easily return to their position.

If the parents of the woman in labor have expressed a desire to sit with their grandson, then they need to provide documents for issuing a decree. To do this, it is enough to provide the employer with an application and a birth certificate.

In addition, until the age of one and a half, the grandparent will receive a care allowance. It is important to understand that the allowance will be calculated based not on the mother's salary, but on the income of the person for whom the decree is issued. Payment will be calculated as a percentage of wages for the last two years.

How much will relatives who go on maternity leave instead of a working woman receive

Monetary accruals that are paid for child care will be accrued only for officially employed persons. A prerequisite is regular cash contributions to the state insurance fund of the working population.

Accruals amount to about 40% of the average salary over the past two years. The amount of cash payments should not exceed the amount established by the state. The maximum amount of money that is paid to a relative who goes on maternity leave is usually fixed and should not exceed 24,000 rubles a month.

There are some restrictions on cash payments. If a grandmother or grandfather goes on maternity leave not for the first time, then the amount that they can receive is reduced several times, and will be only three thousand rubles a month.

In addition to cash receipts, which are accrued until the child reaches one and a half years, the mother is entitled to a payment for pregnancy and childbirth. It is important to understand here that only a woman who is expecting a child can receive accruals. None of her relatives are entitled to claim this category of cash payments.

In addition, cash payments for pregnancy and childbirth also have certain restrictions. Thus, the amount of monetary charges cannot exceed 60 thousand rubles per month. This maximum amount that a woman can get.

The parents of the expectant mother have the right to be on maternity leave and work part-time, while the amount of cash payments is preserved. This option is completely legal and does not affect anything.

Thus, not only the mother of the unborn child, but also her next of kin has the right to receive cash payments for caring for the baby.

Documents for issuing a decree

Going on maternity leave, many women think about what documents they need to collect in order to receive cash contributions. First of all, it is necessary to obtain a certificate, which is issued in the antenatal clinic on reaching the 30-week period. Based on this document, the employee must write an application addressed to her employer in order to start processing her decree.

To receive the allowance, you must collect the following package of documents:

A certificate from a medical institution, which is issued for 140 days, with a single pregnancy and its normal course;
Document on registration in the antenatal clinic in the early stages;
Application addressed to the director of the company where the woman works;
Form of income for the last two years.

A woman who is in position has the right to receive cash benefits for pregnancy and childbirth. When calculating these payments, it should be remembered that they amount to 40% of a woman's salary.

Sometimes a woman has to choose whether to stay at work and receive wages, and the cash benefit is reduced significantly, or to be part-time at work and receive bonuses at work for the amount of work performed.

In addition, if work is so important for a woman, then not only mom or dad can go on parental leave, but also grandparents. At the same time, without losing the workplace and length of service, which affects the receipt of a pension.

To receive maternity leave, you do not need to collect a large package of documents, it is enough to take an edit at the antenatal clinic and write applications, and wait for the first maternity payments to arrive. It should be remembered that only the first year and a half of child care is paid, the remaining one and a half are no longer there.

But the job is saved for three years. Based on this, relatives can safely help in the upbringing of the baby, without fear for the loss of their job and without losing the earnings that they received in their position.
