Which department should I ask for a few days of maternity leave?

Legal analysis: Maternity leave is a labor security-related issue, and the local human resources and social security bureau should be consulted.

Legal basis: Special provisions on labor protection for female employees.

Article 5 An employing unit shall not reduce the salary, dismiss or terminate the labor or employment contract of a female employee because of her pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.

Article 6 If a female employee can't adapt to the original work during pregnancy, the employer shall reduce her workload or arrange other adaptive work according to the certificate of the medical institution.
