Request for Maternity Leave

[Maternity leave is a period of unpaid leave offered to a mother before and after the birth of her child. It is typically used to concentrate on the pregnancy, birth, and immediate postpartum care of the newborn. The request letter must include pertinent information about the woman’s pregnancy, the days or months she will be absent, as well as information about the remuneration she may be anticipating or concessions that may be required. A maternity leave request letter is a formal letter prepared by a pregnant woman at the start of the period when she has to stop attending work/stop working and is asking permission from her superiors to do so.]
