Subject: Maternity benefit not yet paid — request for payment by [REPLY DATE]
Dear [NAME OF HR OFFICER OR MANAGER],
I notified you of my pregnancy and filed my maternity leave application on [FILING DATE]. My maternity leave started on [LEAVE START DATE].
Under Rule VI, Section 3 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of R.A. 11210, the full maternity benefit is advanced by the employer within thirty (30) days from the filing of the maternity leave application. For my application, the thirty days ended on [30-DAY DATE]. I have not yet received the benefit.
Based on my SSS contributions, the benefit I expect is [EXPECTED AMOUNT]. If the company computed a different amount, please show me how it was computed.
I request that you:
pay my maternity benefit by [REPLY DATE], or tell me in writing by that date why it has not been paid;
give me the date on which my Maternity Notification and my maternity benefit application were sent to SSS, with proof;
tell me whether a salary differential will be paid, or whether the company is exempt from paying it.
Please send your reply to [E-MAIL OR MOBILE NUMBER]. I am keeping a copy of this letter.
Sincerely,
[SIGNATURE]
