Maternity leave is not personal leave. Personal leave means that workers need to ask for leave during normal working hours for personal reasons. However, the Special Provisions on Labor Protection of Women Workers clearly stipulates that maternity leave for pregnant women workers is a legal right, which is not included in working hours and is not considered personal leave. Maternity leave for female employees is stipulated by the state and is not personal leave.
According to relevant laws and regulations, female employees are entitled to 98 days of maternity leave after childbirth, including 15 days of prenatal leave; In case of dystocia, 15 days of maternity leave shall be added; For multiple births, 15 days of maternity leave will be added for each additional baby.
Female employees who miscarry less than 4 months after pregnancy are entitled to 15 days of maternity leave; Those who miscarry after 4 months of pregnancy are entitled to 42 days of maternity leave.
