maternity leave

Q7: My employee is the father of a non-Singapore Citizen child. Is he eligible for PL? A7: No. Eligibility for PL is based on the child’s citizenship status, not the parents’.

16 weeks of Maternity Leave for singapore citizens baby 12 weeks of Maternity Leave for non citizen baby Unable to claim back cause employer need your baby birth cert to claim ML from government https://www.mom.gov.sg/employment-practices/leave/maternity-leave/eligibility-and-entitlement

both husband & wife are PR during delivery? If that is the case, you cant claim back 4mth ML. Coz you cant choose your baby citizenship status. If u deliver after u got citizenship, then u can entitle 4mth ML. PR status during delivery 2mth ML only.

If at the moment you deliver and you are a citizen then yes , if its months later than there is no such thing that you can claim back maternity leaves.

If baby is born in Singapore and you chose the baby to be Singaporean, I think you will be entitled. Don't think there is such thing as claim back.
