These Are Things That Need To Be Prepared Before Childbirth Leave

In addition to preparing for childbirth, pregnant women who work in the office also need to prepare for maternity leave. So that maternity leave is not interrupted by office matters, there are some things that need to be prepared in advance. In Indonesia, based on Law no. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower, women workers are entitled to leave for 1.5 months before and 1.5 months after giving birth or around 90 working days. In order for maternity leave to run quietly without the need to abandon work, let's, prepare everything well!

When is the Right Time to Take Maternity Leave?

Every pregnant woman must have her own considerations about when is the best time to take maternity leave. Some have taken maternity leave at 7-8 months of pregnancy, but there are also those who have taken a few days off before the estimated date of delivery. Although it has been set 1.5 months before and 1.5 after delivery, but if it is in accordance with company regulations, Bumil can discuss the agreement on shifting time off, as long as the accumulation of time remains for 3 months. For example, if you want to spend more time with Little One after giving birth, Bumil can apply for leave starting two weeks before delivery and spend the rest after giving birth. In addition, based on the explanation of Article 82 paragraph (1), if necessary, Bumil can request an extension of the obstetrician's certificate of rest, both before and after giving birth. In addition, if there is premature labor, it does not mean maternity leave will be forfeited. Some of the following things can be used by pregnant women to determine when to take maternity leave:
  • Pregnant manpower or ability to work in the final trimester of pregnancy
  • Pregnancy disorders or complications experienced
  • Types of work and stress levels to deal with

What should be done before giving birth?

In order to enjoy maternity leave comfortably without leaving an attitude of professionalism at work, the following is a guide that Bumil can follow:

1. Check company policy

Pregnant women can discuss with the Human Resources (HR) or Human Resources (HR) in the office, to ask questions about maternity leave. This is important because the policies for employees who work on a contract basis differ from those who become permanent employees. In addition, the scale of the company can determine the policies adopted. Bumil's length of work at the company is likely to also have an effect. By understanding company policy, Bumil can adjust maternity leave plans with applicable regulations.

2. Communication with superiors

If needed, Bumil can communicate with superiors regarding the work plan before the leave. This includes shifting tasks and job responsibilities to other employees who will replace.

3. Arrange the method of contact during leave

Sometimes pregnant women are still needed to be contacted during the leave period. Think of ways coworkers or superiors to contact Bumil when needed, without making Bumil feel disturbed. For example, only by electronic mail (e-mail) or telephone contact at certain hours. In addition, Bumil can also put a reminder notification in e-mail that Bumil is on leave.

4. Prepare documents for a replacement employee or coworker

To facilitate the work of substitute employees and coworkers, Bumil can prepare documents or collections of records relating to Bumil's work. Especially for works that are ongoing or still in the process of completion.

5. Inform the client

If work requires Bumil to interact frequently with clients or third parties, Bumil needs to inform the parties of their leave. Make sure they know who will replace Bumil and that their plan will continue to be carried out.

6. Clear the table

Bumil can start tidying the table so that Bumil's replacement employees during leave can work comfortably. Pregnant women can also bring home items that are considered important.

7. Look for a caregiver or daycare

Finding the right caregiver or daycare for your little one who will be born can be a long time. So as not to rush, Bumil can start this search earlier, before entering the leave period. That way, after the maternity leave period is over, Bumil already knows where to entrust the care of Little. Now, with the steps above, hopefully the maternity leave will be comfortable and work in the office can be resolved. Congratulations on preparing for maternity leave, Mother!
