Does the abortion unit have holidays?

There are many factors that lead to miscarriage, especially spontaneous abortion, which is the most undesirable situation. No matter what the reason for miscarriage, it will cause certain harm to the female body. In this case, it takes a certain amount of time for the body to fully recover. If you are working, it will definitely be a headache. So, do abortion units get holidays? Let’s take a look below.

Female employees are entitled to leave if they have a miscarriage after becoming pregnant. If a female employee has a miscarriage before four months of pregnancy, she should be granted maternity leave of fifteen to thirty days based on the opinion of the medical department. In case of miscarriage after pregnancy of more than four months, a maternity leave of 42 days shall be granted. During maternity leave, wages will be paid as usual. The details are as follows:

If a female employee suffers a miscarriage (including artificial abortion) during pregnancy, her employer should grant her maternity leave in accordance with the following provisions based on the medical department's certificate:

(1) For maternity leave of less than three months, 15 days;

(2) For maternity leave of more than three months (including three months) but less than four months, the maternity leave is thirty days;

(3) For a maternity leave of more than four months (inclusive) but less than seven months, the maternity leave shall be 42 days;

(4) If the maternity leave is seven months or more (inclusive), it will be treated as normal maternity leave.

National regulations:

Article 8, Paragraph 1 of the Regulations on Labor Protection for Female Employees stipulates: "If a female employee suffers a miscarriage during pregnancy, her unit should grant her a certain period of maternity leave based on a certificate from the medical department." The specific period may be based on regulations of various localities and industries or may be considered at the discretion of the unit.

The Ministry of Labor also issued a "Notice of the Ministry of Labor on Several Issues Regarding Maternity Treatment for Female Employees", which provides a more detailed explanation of issues such as maternity leave for female employees, treatment during maternity leave, and the scope of application:

1. When a miscarriage occurs before the fourth month of pregnancy, the woman shall be granted maternity leave of fifteen to thirty days, based on the opinion of the medical department; when a miscarriage occurs after the fourth month of pregnancy, a maternity leave of forty-two days shall be granted. During maternity leave, salary will continue to be paid.

2. If an employee is still unable to work due to health reasons after the maternity leave expires, the benefits received during the period exceeding the maternity leave shall be handled in accordance with the relevant regulations on employees' illness after certification by the medical department.
