Hi Afolabi,
That is totally wrong and against the law. I will advise that you engage your HR or line manager in discussions.
Be diplomatic about it especially if your appointment has not been confirmed. Be assured however that you are entitled
to maternity leave which is annual leave consuming even if you have just spent a few months. However, read through your offer
letter or condition of service on maternity leave provision to know about the position of your organization on this.
Wishing you well

I joined a government hospital in may with 1month pregnancy. By December, I was due for maternity leave. I collected maternity leave certificate from a consultant in obstetrics from same hospital, applied for leave. The HOD of my department approved, the CMAC and CMD also approved it. But on getting to estab/HR they said I’m not entitled to maternity leave, and was given just 13days. My mat leave was meant to commence December 13 till April 13, 2019. They approved Dec 18 to 31st. I put to bed on the 31st of DEC. What do I do to claim my full mat leave? Thank you.

In reply to Kayode Ibukunoluwa-Micah. I've worked with a government hospital for 7continous month. I applied for a maternity leave but was denied. I was told I've only worked for 7months that I'm not entitled to maternity leave and was given just 13days leave. That the 13days started counting from the date I stated in my application(December 18 to January 31), that I'm expected to resume January 1. In such situation, what do I do?

I’ve worked with a public hospital for 7months and now due to go for maternity leave but been denied leave. They said I’m entitled to just 13days. I’m confused, what do I do?
