Statutory paid or unpaid leave granted to employees after giving birth.
Maternity leave is a period of absence from work granted to employees who have given birth or adopted a child. Entitlements vary significantly by country — for example, UK employees are entitled to up to 52 weeks of maternity leave (39 weeks paid at Statutory Maternity Pay rates), while UAE female employees are entitled to 60 days of maternity leave. HR software automates maternity leave calculations, tracks SMP/maternity pay, and manages the return-to-work process.
