u wan carry belle or wetin be all this baby thing all over the place?

Thank you for the reply but can you tell me the establishment, but where you can not, just tell me the type say bank, oil and gas or Telecommunication.

from you post i can deduce that you must working ih the human resources department and propably new to it.
Anyway According to the Nigerian labour law a woman is entitled to 12 weeks maternity leave which can be started 6weeks before the EDD and end 6 wks post-natal or however.

Salary is half pay according to labour law but coy might decide to give all to longer serving staff or whichever pleases them.
resumption could be 8 to 2 or 9 to 3 for 2 months. or 3 months

The norm should be that a HMO provides health coverage for staff and family also the plan shoulb include deliveries

Checks are put in place to discourage giving birth every year eg maternity leave should be every 18 mths ,


welfare package for newborn is inclusion in the hmo note under labour law it is only mandatory for staff including family members is basically coy welfare popose.

finally i think i know you, you work with an oil and gas firm right.

In my organisation:-

1. Maternity leave is 12 weeks
2. All allowances are paid in full
3. You resume same time but close an hour earlier
4. Medical insurance is available and covers delivery even through CS
5. You can go for maternity every year but not twice a year
6. No welfare package for new baby

My maternnity leave was a whole year and i was paid 6 months full salary,3 months half salary and nothing for the remaining 3 months,so for this reason i resumed back to work after 9 months maternity.When i resumed back to work,i had to change my working contract to flexible hours becos paying for child minder is very expensive in london.

lemonpluss, I hope u can help me secure a job in London bc from your response one has enough time with the new baby.
1. my coy gives 3 months maternity leave with full salary, on resumption u close 3 hrs before time four three months. To me it is not enough because if you are on baby friendly, you are forced to stop at 3 months. People suggest expressing breast milk for the baby but with the nature of electricity in Nigeria, it is not workable.

According to Section 54 of the Nigerian Labour Act, which deals with issue of this kind, see below, "copied and pasted"

(1)In any public or private industrial or commercial undertaking or any branch thereof, or in any agricultural undertaking or any branch thereof, a woman-

(b) shall not be permitted to work during the six weeks following her confinement;
(c) if she is absent from her work in pursuance of paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection and had been continuously employed by her then employer for a period of six months or more immediately prior to her absence, shall be paid not less than fifty per cent of the wages she would have earned if she had not been absent; and
