Section 8Sec./Art. 8

Maternity Leave With Pay in Case of Childbirth, Miscarriage, or Emergency Termination of Pregnancy After the Termination of an Employees Service.

Maternity leave with full pay shall be granted even if the childbirth, miscarriage, or emergency termination of pregnancy occurs not more than fifteen (15) calendar days after the termination of an employees service, as her right thereto has already accrued: Provided, That such period is not applicable when the employment of the pregnant woman worker has been terminated without just cause, in which case the employer will pay her the full amount equivalent to her salary for one hundred five (105) days for childbirth and sixty (60) days for miscarriage or emergency termination of pregnancy based on her full pay, in addition to the other applicable daily cash maternity benefits that she should have received had her employment not been illegally terminated.
