Union Bank is offering unparalleled comprehensive maternity leave to support working mothers and an on-site crèche facility to support working parents, both male and female full-time employees.

The new initiative includes an industry-leading five months of fully paid maternity leave, exclusive of the applicable annual leave, and an on-site crèche facility.

According to Section 54 of the Labour Act in Nigeria, new mothers are legally entitled to 12 weeks of maternity leave.

However, Union Bank is leading the way with this groundbreaking comprehensive package, which is a significant step ahead of industry norms. This extended leave, coupled with the ability to take annual leave, gives new mothers more time to recover and bond with their newborns, aligning with SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being.

Additionally, returning mothers will benefit from a one-hour late resumption for the first month, easing the transition back into work and ensuring a smoother work-life integration.
