LMCI Maternity Leave
LMCI has approved funding for a maternity leave program to be administered by local health and welfare funds. The program creates a benefit for 6-weeks of paid leave for all working participants who give birth. If the participant gives birth by caesarean section, the paid leave may be extended to 8 weeks. Further, if a participant is certified by their health care provider as being unable to work during their pregnancy, they may receive up to 6 months of paid leave prior to giving birth.
The weekly benefit amount is based on two-thirds (2/3) of the participant’s regular weekly pay, up to a maximum of $800 per week.
For more information, reach out to the Benefits Office.
