1. Recently joined a company (March 2nd, 2022), can I apply for maternity leave towards May end, as I will be delivering then?

2. I do not wish to take a long maternity leave as I just joined the organisation, so instead I want to request for wfh for 5-6 months and I'll take the leave until I physically recover (3-4 weeks). Is this a reasonable request?

3. How to proceed further with the request?

Please suggest some solutions. Thanks!

Work apart, I would say take time to recover well and also, your baby would need you beside her all the time. Please think about this too, before taking any decision.

I too think about this. And to be very frank this is a fact that maternity leaves affect women career. You will set back your career at least by 1-2 years. But that doesn't mean you should not take enough time to recover. At least take 1.5-2 month leave, this is minimum time the body needs to recover internally.

This is so thoughtful of you. But at the same time I would suggest take at least 2 months of full rest and then you can start wfh. Don't rush yourself to work.
About your wfh request, that sounds good but it totally depends on your company. It should not be a problem but as you joined recently they might be hesitant.

Thank you! This helped

Please read the policy.. or check with HR..

Please check with HR.. you will be allowed for maternity leave.. but with partial pay.

You may need to spend 6 month or 1 year in an organisation for fully paid one.
