When decreeing, a woman has the right tocertain benefits that are associated with pregnancy, childbirth and the birth of a child. One of these benefits includes a maternity allowance, or simply a maternity allowance.
The calculation of maternity in 2012 is regulatedFederal Law No. 255 of December 29, 2006, as amended on February 25, 11, No. 21. According to the above amendments for two years (2011-2012), a pregnant woman may choose for herself a more advantageous method of calculation.
There are only two options to carry out the maternity calculation.
The first bookkeeping is carried out by default, itis described in the new version of the law. The main difference is that the average daily wage, from which further accruals are made, is calculated taking into account 24 months. All payments from which insurance contributions were made for the previous 24 months of hospital are plus and divided into fixed 730 days. So it turns out the daily amount of payment on the sick list. To calculate the maternity leave for all days of the hospital, the one-day amount is multiplied by the number of days indicated in it. There are generally accepted norms for sick days for maternity. For a single-pregnancy pregnancy without complications, a disability sheet is issued for 140 days, for a multiple-day pregnancy, 194 days. For single-birth pregnancy with childbirth that have passed with complications, an additional sheet of incapacity for work is issued, the total number of days for two sheets should not exceed 156 days.
The amount of annual earnings of a woman included in the calculation of maternity leave must not exceed the maximum allowable for 2010-2012. That is, those from which the deductions were made in the socialist countries.
If the previous pregnancy is two calendaryear were on parental leave or for some other reason the salary of this period is less than in previous years, then a woman can write an application for a different period for the calculation of benefits. An important point is that the average earnings for calculations can not be less than the minimum wage.
Working on several jobs during the last two years before the pregnancy, a woman has the right to receive maternity benefits at each job.
If for any reason the estimated amountthe maternity allowance will be larger, calculating it according to the old rules, then the woman, subject to writing to the accounts department of the application, has the right to receive the amount of the benefit calculated in accordance with the edition of the law valid until 2011.
The second option for calculatingdecree, is written in the old version of the law. Its use at the moment is possible only when filing a certain application of a pregnant woman in the accounting department. It involves calculating the average salary for the preceding 12 months in the hospital.
Making the calculation of the old ones, they are takenAll payments from which contributions were made, other than payments, that are not part of the average wage and are divided by the number of days that have actually been worked out. That is, holidays, holidays, vacation days, and, accordingly, the amount of vacation, the days of the sick and their amount are not included in the calculation.
The calculation of the old ones isonly the payments received by the woman at the last place before the decree of work, while the new edition assumes the possibility of providing certificates of wages received for 2 years and from other employers.
Regardless of the method chosen by the woman, the calculationmaternity leave must be made within 10 days from the day when the original of the sick leave sheet was submitted to the employer's accounting department. Payment of the accrued amount of the benefit goes to the next days established for the receipt of wages.
