Sample Letter to HR Regarding Maternity Leave

It is your duty to inform your employer by a written notice when you are anticipating going on maternity leave. You must express your intention in written mentioning from when you wish to go on leave. This will help the management to allow you for maternity leave without causing any misunderstandings. This is really important for you to plan it in advance so that the company can arrange for your substitute and you can relax and enjoy that time planning the arrival of the new family member.

This letter should be direct. You can make it look pleasant and happy, expressing your joy. Always address it to your boss to make sure that he or she reads the letter and keeps it in mind. You can send one copy to the human resource personnel and one to your boss to keep things smooth and comfortable.

Here is a formal example of letter to HR requesting for maternity leave which you can refer to draft a personalized letter for yourself.
