how to write an application of maternity leave for 3 months?

Answer

Hi Sweety,

First of all, congratulations on your new baby. Every country has different laws on minimum maternity leave period. I do not know the laws in Bangladesh but I would assume it is one month.

I have made the following assumptions in coming up with a sample for you:

By law, the minimum maternity leave period is 1 month.

You have 20 days of annual leave.

Taking the weekends into considerations, you will need to take 1 month unpaid leave to make 3 months.

A sample request can be copied below:

I am writing to request a three-month maternity leave. The expected due date for delivery is 25th January 2010. I would like to commence maternity leave from 25th of December 2009.

I understand that the maternity leave available is only one month, so I am also requesting to take my annual leave and unpaid leave. The schedule of each leave is as follows:

1: Annual Leave 25 Dec 2009 to 24 Jan 2010 (20 Days)

2: Maternity Leave 25 Jan to 25 Feb 2010 (1 month)

3: Unpaid Leave 26 Feb to 25 Mar 2010 (20 days)

I will complete as much of my assigned task before commencing my leave.
(Note: You may also consider giving a proposal for your work coverage and communications during the leave)

Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,
