RE: Maternity Leave
Dear Employer,
This letter will outline my formal request for maternity leave. As you are already aware, I am pregnant, and my due date is ________. Please consider this letter as my official parental leave request.
I am requesting the following maternity leave:
- Start date: ________
- End date: ________
- Total period of leave: ________
I intend to apply for Parental Leave Pay under the Australian Government Paid Parental Leave Scheme. I will also be submitting this request to the appropriate department in our organisation.
I plan to have all of my work properly assigned to co-workers prior to my absence. I am open to any requests or suggestions as to how this should be done. I also request that no work-related calls, emails, or other obligations be forwarded to me during my leave. I do not anticipate any problem returning to work as usual after my leave period.
I also would like to request a second period of maternity leave at a later date, but I will be in contact in due course to discuss this.
I look forward to working with you to ensure a smooth transition for my leave and for my return to work.
Yours faithfully,
________
