Document background
The Maternity Leave Notice Letter is a crucial document required under Singapore employment law when an employee wishes to exercise their maternity leave entitlements. It should be submitted at least one week before the commencement of leave, though earlier notification is recommended for better planning. The letter formally communicates the pregnancy, expected delivery date, intended leave period, and return date, helping employers manage workforce planning and ensuring compliance with statutory requirements. This document is essential for protecting both the employee's rights and the employer's operational needs.
