Past/Present Clients Client list furnished upon request
Question I need your assist as usual.We have an employee who misscarriaged not so long ago.During that time i requested her to take sometime off and she insisted that there was no need.At this point i requested her to bring a medical certificate confirming she was fit to resume duty of which she did.I then let her resume duty as per her request.
Two weeks down the road she requests for leave and company policy is that if you take more than 5 sick offs of which she had consumed 20 sick off days then the sick off excess is deducted off one's annual leave.Please note she intially took a few leave days leaving her no balance this year.She feels i should compensate her maternity leave(not taken then) now.To me maternity is taken at the point of need and not postponed.
Answer Sera:
As I am not sure what country you are in my answer may not be in accordance with your local laws.
Maternity leave is for giving birth. As she has not given birth, per se, maternity leave is not called for.
In her latest request for leave, what is the purpose?
If there is a medical reason,for which documentation is submitted there are other remedies to this situation.
I assume you are not in the US as you could use the family leave policy.
Hope this helps.
