How much do they pay on maternity leave? The term of maternity leave. Is the maternity leave on the record?

The coveted two stripes on the test and the gynecologist's conclusion confirming the pregnancy is not only a joy in the family, but also the appearance of a mass of various issues related to monetary compensation for the future mother. The main question is which payments to the decree are required by law and what the pregnant women need to know about their rights. To begin with, one must realize that the generally accepted term "maternity leave", by which we mean the fact that a woman does not work for some time due to the care of the child, is absent in the law at all. Therefore, in order to understand how a decree is paid, you need to know that all this long term, starting from the 30th week of pregnancy and ending with the child's reaching the age of three, is divided into several parts, each of which is financed separately.

What is maternity leave

First, let's divide the "decree" into two parts:

• Stay in the hospital, related to pregnancy, childbirth and in the post-natal period;
• Care for the baby from birth to 3 years.

The first part is regulated by Federal Law No. 255 RF "On compulsory social. Insurance in case of temporary incapacity for work and in connection with maternity, "which clearly states when it is supposed to go to the sick leave and how long it can last. But the questions about how much they pay on maternity leave are explained by the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation No. 1012n dated December 23, 2009, which is called "The procedure and conditions for appointing and paying state benefits to citizens with children."

To whom it is given

Based on these, as well as some other legislative acts, every working woman gets the right to receive benefits for BR (pregnancy and childbirth). At the same time, the length of employment does not affect the fact of receiving a payment, but only affects its size.

Also it is worthwhile to know that some payments "in the decree" can be received not only by the mother, but also by the father or grandmother (grandfather) of the baby. Of course, this applies only to the part of the payments that are due for caring for the baby, as well as a one-time cash benefit at birth. But the father can not receive cash payments for pregnancy and childbirth, of course, so if the future mother does not work, then there will be no such benefit, since it is assigned only to women (officially employed).

However, in some cases, women who do not have formal work can receive such benefits, for example:

• Women engaged in self-employment (PI) can receive payment for pre- and post-natal hospital if they have voluntarily paid their contributions to the FSS for at least 6 months, and the amount of benefits will depend on the amount of payments;
• Women whose dismissal is associated with the liquidation (reorganization) of the enterprise and registered in the employment center may receive a minimum benefit (515.32 rubles) monthly during the year;
• Students of the inpatient department, irrespective of the form of training (paid / free), have the right to pay a hospital at the place of study.

But in the case when the future mother does not work and is not registered with the Central Organ, the payment of maternity leave is not carried out.

When to go to the decree

The term of maternity leave is also divided into 2 parts: before and after, and in the first and second cases it can be different. To find out how many days of an antenatal hospital it is you, the doctor's visit will help:

• 70 calendar days you are entitled to if the pregnancy is singleton;
• If on ultrasound you were pleased with twins, triplets, etc., then your antenatal clinic will be 84 days;

The law provides that if the birth occurred somewhat earlier than the expected period, unused hospital days are postponed to the post-natal period (added to it).

The period of maternity leave in the postpartum period will also help determine the conclusion of a gynecologist:

• At birth (without complications) of one child - 70 days;
• If labor has passed with complication (pathology) - 86 days;
• With the simultaneous birth of 2 or more toddlers (multiple pregnancies), your hospital will be 110 days (calendar).

How to apply correctly

In order to make payments in the decree without delay, they must be properly formalized. For this you need to know some subtleties:

• The sick leave is issued by the medical institution in which the pregnant woman is registered and is provided at the place of work;
• If during the last period the future mother has changed several jobs, the payments will be made at the place of the last job placement, and a certificate may be needed that the accrual and disbursement of benefits have not been previously conducted;
• If the enterprise was liquidated (reorganized) and as a result of this the pregnant woman lost her job, she must register at the employment center as soon as possible, while the payment of pre- and postnatal assistance will be provided by the social security department;
• If for some reason the employer can not make payments, you must contact the insurance company, the name of which is indicated in the MHI policy;
• And, of course, you need to write a statement about the need to assign benefits.

On the basis of all of the above, the company issues an order in the form of T-6 "On granting maternity leave." If it subsequently turns out that the childbirth took place with complications, and therefore the sick leave sheet needs to be extended, the young mother will have to write an application again and present a certificate confirming such a right.

Experience in the decree. Rules and the order of payment

Another rather popular question: "Is the maternity leave part of the work experience?" The answer is unequivocal - it is included. Since the leave to a pregnant woman in the pre- and post-natal period is regarded as a regular hospital sheet of long duration, it is obligatory to include it in the total work record .

On the other hand, it can be said that maternity leave is part of the length of service. This is due to the part that relies on one of the parents to care for a child who has not reached a certain age. Thus, FZ No. 11 "On labor pensions" says that the total length of service (insurance) includes the period of care for each child under the age of one and a half years, but in total this period can not exceed three years. This means that if, for example, a married couple has three children, then leave to take care of the first and second child up to a year and a half will be counted in the seniority of the mother, but the time spent with the third baby will not go there. In this case, your dad can use his dad (grandmother, grandfather) and arrange a leave to care for yourself.

Decent payments - we will calculate correctly

Calculate how much they pay on maternity leave, you can yourself, you just need to know some of the features:

D = Cs x Do

• D - maternity;
• Сз - average daily earnings;
• Do - count - in days of leave, relying on a woman.

In order to calculate the average daily wage, you need to use the following formula:

Cs = Sum / 730 - Cd

• Sum - the total amount of payments for 2 years preceding the moment of accrual of benefits;
• 730 - the number of calendar days for this period, sometimes there may be 731, if one participates in a leap year ;
• Cd is the number of days that is not taken into account in the calculation, for example, the time spent in a hospital.

If the future mother lives in the regions where the minimum wage is provided, the calculations need to be slightly adjusted:

D = Cs x Coefficient MROT x Do

Decree minimum, payments for the unemployed

Regardless of what the future mother paid for, the minimum amount of "maternity" can not be calculated from the amount lower than the minimum wage. Thus, the smallest amount of relying maternity can be calculated by the formula:

Дм = (5 965 х 12/365) х До

• Dm - the minimum size of the hospital maternity;
• 5 965r. - minimum wage in 2015;
• Do - count the days of the hospital (maternity).

It is also important to know how much the unemployed pay on maternity leave. Unfortunately - not at all. The fact is that payments for pregnancy and childbirth are carried out by the Social Insurance Fund on the basis of deductions withheld by the employer from the salary of the future mother. Accordingly, there are no deductions - there are no maternity payments.

A few nuances

As you can already see, the registration of maternity leave and the correct calculation of benefits are not easy, especially since there are some nuances:

• If a woman has worked (officially) with two or more employers for two years prior to the moment she left for the decree, then the calculation of maternity payments is made by each of them independently of each other;
• If by the time you make a payment you are on leave to care for the baby to 1.5 or 3 years (from one decree to another), then you can replace one or both years used to calculate benefits for the previous (before the first decree) .

Payments for caring for a child up to 1.5 years

Now let's talk about how to pay the decree, or rather, leave to care for the baby to 1.5 years of age. This type of benefit is assigned to all mothers (fathers) regardless of the availability of formal employment. The amount of such benefit is 40% of the average monthly earnings, but it can not be less than 2718 rubles at the birth of the first child or 5436 rubles for the second and subsequent children.

Allowance for children under 3 years of age

Maternity leave up to 3 years also involves the payment of cash benefits, but their size is much smaller than all the previous ones. Such a benefit is paid at the place of employment of one of the parents and depends on the availability (and amount) of other children in the family, as well as on the average level of remuneration for the region.

So, how much do you pay on maternity leave for children under 3? Initially, the amount is only fifty (50) rubles per month. Further, it is multiplied by the "regional coefficient" - an individual parameter for each locality, which you can find out by visiting the local government. This coefficient can be quite high. And then insignificant 50 rubles. Will turn into very tangible 2000 rubles, as, for example, in Moscow.
