Most women who are in an "interesting" position, today want to buy all the necessary devices before the birth of the baby, so they often have a question when they pay maternity payments, before or after delivery. In this article, we will try to understand this issue.
When are paid maternity leave at work - before childbirth or after?
All women who go on maternity leave on the occasion of pregnancy and forthcoming birth will eventually receive different amounts of payments, the amount of which depends on the average monthly salary for the previous calendar years. Despite this, the answer to the question, when the employer must pay maternity leave, is the same for all and is determined by the legislation of the state in which the pregnant woman lives and works.
So, the sick leave sheet, which is payable, is issued to her at the 30th week of the waiting period for a new life. This document indicates the range of maternity leave - both in Russia and Ukraine it begins exactly 70 days before the expected date of delivery, and ends 70 days after it for Russia and 56 days later for Ukraine. Russian women who expect the birth of two or more toddlers at the same time receive a sick leave sheet for 194 days at once - 84 days before and after 110 days. It is for this period in the personnel service of the employer that such leave is formalized.
According to the law, the maternity must be paid when the future mother brings the received sick leave to the employer's accounting department and writes her own handwritten statement. The exact date, when this happens, the legislation is not defined. Each employer decides for himself, when paying maternity leave, on the expected date of salary or on another day, separately from other payments, but, one way or another, he will have to do it no later than 10 calendar days, starting from the moment of receipt a written application.
Almost always pregnant women receive an impressive amount even before the birth and can dispose of it at their own discretion. Meanwhile, the circumstances of future mothers may be different, and it should be emphasized once again that a payment calculated for the entire duration of a maternity leave is paid only when an application is submitted to the employer's accounting department.
In some situations, leave granted to a woman due to pregnancy and childbirth may be extended for several days after the end of the period specified in the sick list. In particular, this is the case with complicated or premature births. In such circumstances, the hospital sheet issued at the 30th week of waiting for the baby is extended.
At the same time in Ukraine, the postpartum period of the sick leave sheet, if appropriate, is prolonged to 70 days, and in Russia - up to 86 days. In this case, the young woman may also have a question when she is obliged to pay the proper maternity.
If there are any reasons for prolonging the period of dismissal from work, the woman should recount and pay the missing maternity leave at the same time, and when the principal amount - no later than 10 days after the hospitalization in the accounting department or the personnel service of the employer.
In some cases this payment is also referred to as maternity leave, however, it differs from the previous one in that it is not the employer who is responsible for its transfer, but the social services in the state of residence of the young mother.
