maternity benefits

Maternity benefits are support provided to employees during pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for a newborn. They typically include paid time off, healthcare coverage, and sometimes financial allowances to help manage the physical and emotional demands of pregnancy and early parenthood. These benefits aim to ensure the mother’s health and well-being, promote a healthy pregnancy, and allow time for recovery and bonding with the baby. They vary by country and employer but are designed to provide security and support during this important life stage.
