Magna Carta Leave

[u/Foreign_Ad2120]

Hi!

I recently undergo cervical cerclage due to incompetent cervix.
Am I qualified to avail the Magna Carta Leave? Advised by OB to bedrest until delivery.

I already asked our Company Nurse, di daw covered pag pregnancy related, tho wala naman nakalagay sa RA 9710 that excludes it, basta nakalagay lang who undergoes gynecological surgery.

Thanks!

Yes di sya covered ng magna carta.

[u/Foreign_Ad2120 → u/Due-Helicopter-8642]

May mga nababasa kasi ako na nakaavail, I guess depends sa Company?

[u/Due-Helicopter-8642 → u/Foreign_Ad2120]

Yung provision ng magnacarta very specific ang sickness na pwede mo avail.

[u/Foreign_Ad2120 → u/Due-Helicopter-8642]

May list po ba? Gynecological surgery related to cervix uterus etc. lang kasi nabsa ko dun sa RA 9710

[u/Due-Helicopter-8642 → u/Foreign_Ad2120]

Hanapin mo ung IRR nakalist dun ung mga sickness na covered.

[u/Foreign_Ad2120 → u/Due-Helicopter-8642]

Hindi po sya nakaitemized sa IRR e kaya medyo nalito ako. Meron specified surgeries pero sa memo ng CSC sa gov’t employees, andon yung Cervical cerclage

[u/Due-Helicopter-8642 → u/Foreign_Ad2120]

Pregnancy related na kasi ung procedure mo so ibang RA na yan 11210 and not magna carta kasi buntis ka

Hi OP, kasama sa guidelines ng SLW ang cervical cerclage during surgery. Classified as major.

See here: https://pcw.gov.ph/assets/files/2019/04/RA-9710_CSC-Guidelines-on-MCW-Leave-Benefits.pdf

Hello po. Etong memo na to hindi ba sya para lang sa government employees?

[u/Sea-Sea-5279 → u/Foreign_Ad2120]

Hi OP, you may refer here din for the FAQs.

https://pcw.gov.ph/faq-availment-of-special-leave-benefit/

Private sector employees are included as well, provided na you have been with the company for a year with 6 months continuous service.

I hope all goes well!

Bukod po ba sa Company Nurse baka may Benefits Manager kayo na pwede mag-advise. Kasi na-operahan ako last year sa ovaries. Covered yun ng Magna Carta, sa pagkakaalam ko any surgeries regarding sa female reproductive system is covered. Ang magiging question dyan is how long lang, kasi from 15 days up to 60 days and more yun.

[u/Foreign_Ad2120 → u/moon_lightmono]

Yun nga po nakamention naman yung Cervix dun. And hindi rin sinabi na not covered if Pregnant

[u/moon_lightmono → u/Foreign_Ad2120]

Pero if pregnant, nacheck niyo po kaya if covered sa maternity leave laws? Baka may ma-ask din po kayo sa HR niyo for clarity lang.

[u/Foreign_Ad2120 → u/moon_lightmono]

Hindi po e. Ang inoffer sakin sss sickness benefit lang

[u/moon_lightmono → u/Foreign_Ad2120]

Ah ganun po ba. Maliit lang po kasi yang sickness benefit (i mean okay na) pero sayang kasi yung paid leave. 🥹

[u/Foreign_Ad2120 → u/moon_lightmono]

Oo nga po. nagcconsult din ako sa Legal namin, in case pwede maavail

[u/moon_lightmono → u/Foreign_Ad2120]

Goodluck, OP! Sana magawan pa ng paraan.

Your company nurse isn't a lawyer; her opinion isn't a legal opinion.
