The Maternity Leave Agreement serves as a crucial document in Pakistani employment relationships, establishing clear terms for maternity leave arrangements in compliance with the Maternity Benefit Ordinance 1958 and related legislation. This document is essential when an employee becomes pregnant and needs to formalize their maternity leave arrangements with their employer. It includes comprehensive details about the statutory 12-week leave period, payment calculations, notice requirements, and return-to-work procedures. The agreement helps prevent misunderstandings by clearly documenting both parties' rights and obligations, ensuring compliance with Pakistani labor laws while protecting both employer and employee interests. It should be implemented as part of the standard HR procedures when an employee announces their pregnancy.
