As a beneficiary of the entitlement, you cannot sign your own medical documents. Another doctor has to sign your OPD documents, as you are already aware. Simply take a screenshot of the OPD card where the expected date is mentioned and forward the same to the medical superintendent (as mentioned in your last reply). Include a copy of the previous email and also forward the same to HR.
The HR department follows its own set of documentation, which is employee-based. They are not supposed to seek patient records from their own hospital. The application may be correct, but without supporting medical documents, they remain silent. Even after you submit the documents, they will have to arrange an alternate for your department during your leave period. This can be resolved through a short discussion.

Dear Dr. Madam and colleagues,
The lady doctor is narrating a sequence of events relating to communication with the hospital authorities in bits and pieces. This is leading to unnecessary assumptions, crisscross, and haywire views. Apparently, she seems to have followed the procedure of communication regarding her pregnancy and request to proceed on maternity leave. The hospital authorities are bound to grant her maternity leave as per the Act.
Please have patience until the communication is received, or else take it up once again with the decision-makers and prepare to proceed on maternity leave with due intimation and supporting documents. It is a case of procedural snag and will eventually get sorted out. Therefore, there is no need to panic.

The doctor employee has already informed HR one month ago about her intention to apply for maternity leave. Currently, she has emailed the authorities again, stating that she is proceeding on leave, and has attached the relevant prescriptions and reports. This should be sufficient for now.
As an employee, you must have received approval from the authorities to proceed on leave. Have you received it, doctor?

No, sir. That is exactly my concern. I have informed repeatedly, but have received no communication from their side. No confirmation that they have received my request, and no approval or denial. In such circumstances, if I proceed with leave, the hospital system will automatically mark me absent and leave without pay will be deducted.

Dear Dr. Fanconi,
As stated by one of the senior members earlier, you have been giving information in bits and pieces. Now you say, "I have informed repeatedly... But have received no communication from their side..." The expectation from a person of your stature is to provide the complete information in chronological order. If you had done that, the thread would not have been protracted.
Anyway, I recommend submitting the application to the highest authority of your hospital. Explain in sequence the communication done in the past. Please submit in person the hard copy of the application to the secretary of the Director or Managing Director of the hospital. Do not send it through email. Obtain the signature of the recipient on the duplicate copy. Wait for 1-2 days, and if no reply is received, then ask for a personal interview with the highest authority.
If the Director/MD calls you personally at any time, carry with you the copy of the application and also the leave application, duly filled. Ask whether he/she would like to approve the leave application or if some other senior authority would do it. If the latter, ensure that you carry a letter addressed to that authority on the approval.
While submitting the application, keep the HR department in the loop by marking CC of the applications to them.
Thanks,

Hi Madam, you have every right to avail maternity benefits including leave with salaries as per labor laws. You can file a complaint letter with the Assistant Commissioner of Labor in your area. The Authority will then issue a notice to both parties, and your management should pay your benefits promptly upon receiving the notice. Once you have received your salaries, there is no need to attend a joint meeting at the labor office. You can simply send a withdrawal letter if you have been duly compensated.
Please do not trust any assurances from the management until you have received the full amount owed to you.
