المطالبة بتعويض عن أجازة الأمومة عند الاستقالة

Dear Questioner,

Please note Article 30 of the Federal Law No. 8 of 1980 Regulating Employment Relations in the UAE (the 'Employment Law') which states:

"A female employee shall be entitled to maternity leave with full pay for a period of 45 days, including the period preceding and the period following her confinement, on condition that she has been in her employer's service for a continuous period of not less than one year. If she has not completed the aforesaid period of service, she shall be entitled to maternity leave with half pay".

Please note that the same will be allocated and distributed when you enter into the maternity leave while you are working.

Hope the above explanation is satisfactory.

Thank you.

Regards,

Rajasree Ravivarma
