Maternity Leave starts on the production of Medical Certificate. If the baby is borne between the vacation ,say 25/10/14, then your 180 days will start from 25/10/14. Either from date of birth of the child or Doctor’s advice about taking Maternity Leave (mentioning the date), the maternity leave will start. If someone send an application on and from 27/10/14 to take such leave by a messenger, then she is absent for this date. “Why”, normally this question will be arise. Either she is unable to attain school for her illness or already the child has taken birth (between the vacation). So, Maternity Leave will starts according to Doctors Certificate.
Thanks a lot.
