How did it happen that the government tries in every possible way to stimulate an increase in the birth rate, doctors and the labor code try to protect the health of future mothers, and for the employer the pregnant woman remains a reason for some concern, since it is believed that she is entitled to many benefits, she will become more sick, and she will work , most likely, it will be worse. This is a preconceived opinion. However, it is not without foundation. After all, the employer has no right to dismiss a pregnant woman, and compelling her to resign at her own will be fraught with various troubles by the labor protection inspectorate. In addition, according to Article 254 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the level of average earnings of a pregnant woman should be maintained even if it should be transferred to a different, less "harmful" post, if prescribed by doctors, or if she needs to travel during business hours to visit a doctor.
Long-awaited vacation
According to the law, maternity leave is 70 calendar days before birth and 70 days after childbirth, or 86 days in case of complicated childbirth. And if the birth of twins or triplets is expected - 84 days before delivery and 110 days after. And very often after the end of such leave, women take leave to care for a child up to three years, and for this entire period the organization is obliged to keep their workplace behind them. Meanwhile, to get rid of a pregnant woman legally, an enterprise can only "through its corpse", in other words, in case of liquidation of an organization or termination of activity by an individual entrepreneur (Article 261, Part 1 of the LC RF). In case of violation of their rights, a woman can apply to the court, if the employer refuses to comply with the court's decision, then the company expects appropriate sanctions until the seizure of the accounts of the organization. However, most moms tend to avoid conflicts and keep healthy nerves, do not contact the court and leave quietly, in English.

The maternity leave is paid from the Social Insurance Fund, the sick leave sheet serves as the basis for this. According to the law, the sick-list to pregnant women is paid in the amount of 100% of average earnings, but according to the law "On the budget of the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation for 2008 and for the planning period of 2009 and 2010", a woman will not be able to get more than 23,400 rubles a month, even if her salary exceeded this amount. It should be noted that wages should be completely "white", because it is held in official documents. The question, of course, is delicate, but there is nothing shameful in that when a woman is employed, she will find out the amount of declared wages. And employees, and even more employees, can in detail and - most importantly - honestly tell how the bosses treat the hospital as a whole and pregnant women in particular. Recall that the allowance for pregnancy and childbirth is paid not from the treasury of the enterprise, this is the Social Insurance Fund, except that all the hassle of registration falls on the shoulders of the accounting and human resources departments. Of course, the employer is obliged to accept the sick leave sheet, except when the list of incapacity for work is filled with irregularities. And according to this, when receiving the sheet, carefully check whether the surname, name, patronymic, age and sex of the patient are correctly indicated, as well as the name of the enterprise, whether the doctor's signature and the hospital stamp are affixed. But even if the list of disability miraculously disappeared from the depths of the accounting department, it does not matter, it can be restored by contacting the hospital, you will receive a duplicate of it.
