The Maternity Leave Agreement serves as a formal document establishing the terms and conditions of maternity leave in accordance with Saudi Labor Law. This agreement is essential when an employee announces her pregnancy and intends to take maternity leave, providing clear documentation of her rights to 10 weeks of paid leave, nursing breaks, and job protection. It should be implemented when pregnancy is confirmed and the employee provides initial notification to her employer, typically around the second trimester. The agreement ensures compliance with Saudi labor regulations while protecting both employer and employee interests, documenting specific leave dates, pay arrangements, and return-to-work procedures. It's particularly important in the Saudi context where specific statutory requirements must be met regarding maternity benefits and workplace protections.
