Ikhefu lokubeletha lamamaMpi aseMpi

Umhlahlandlela omfushane weNqubomgomo kanye nezinzuzo

Ikhefu lokubeletha liyigugu futhi lifanelekile kumamazana asezempi njengoba kuqondene nabantu. Yiqiniso, i-servicemember yabesifazane inezinto ezimbalwa okumele zikhathazeke ngazo, njengokuthi indawo yesikhungo, isabelo noma isikhundla, kodwa isidingo esiyisisekelo sokunakekela ingane esanda kuzalwa futhi sichitha isikhathi sekhwalithi ngesikhathi somndeni siyafana. Ukuhlangabezana nalezi zidingo, uMnyango Wezokuvikela wadala uMbiko kuMkhandlu Wezindlu Ezimhlophe Kwabesifazane Namantombazane ngoSepthemba 2009.

Phakathi kwezincomo ezibaluleke kakhulu zombiko yizo:

• Okungenani izinyanga ezine ngemuva kokubeletha, umama uzoshiywa isabelo sokuya kwezinye izinkambo zezilwandle, kanye nokuthunyelwa kwesikhashana noma isabelo sesikhashana esiteshini somsebenzi esihlala njalo. Noma kunjalo, umama unakho ukhetho lokuyeka ukukhululwa.
• Isikhathi sokunciphisa isikhathi esinezinyanga ezine sisungulwa ukuze unikeze isikhathi sokuphumula kwezokwelapha ngemuva kokubeletha. Le nkathi ibuye ivumele ukuthi omama nemindeni yezempi bahlele futhi balungise uhlelo lokunakekela umndeni kanye nezinhlelo zokunakekela izingane.

Ngokuphathelene nezinhlelo zekhefu ezizuzisa omama nemindeni emisha, lo mbiko unikeza iziqondiso ezilandelayo:

• Ukubeletha. Isikhathi se-convalescent esingamaviki ayisithupha emva kokukhulelwa nokubeletha. Lesi sikhathi sesikhathi sivumela omama nemindeni ukuthi basebenzise izinhlelo zokunakekelwa ezidingekayo ngesikhathi nangemva kwekhefu lokubeletha.
• I-Paternity. Abazali abashadile abasemsebenzini bangase bathole izinsuku ezingu-10 zekhefu elingekho lokukhokhisa lokungabikho ukuze baleke omama abasha futhi bathole noma yiziphi izinguquko ezidingekayo zokuphatha ngenxa yokuzalwa. Ikhefu lesishiyagalombili kufanele lithathwe ngesikhathi esifanele ngemuva kokuzalwa.

• Ukwamukelwa. Abasebenzi abaqedela ukutholwa okufanelekayo bangaba nezinsuku ezingu-21 zekhefu lokungabikho elikhokhiswayo ngokuphathelene nokwamukelwa. Ikhefu lokungabikho kufanele lithathwe phakathi nezinyanga ezingu-12 emva kokutholwa futhi lingasetshenziswa ngokuhambisana nezikhathi zokuhamba ezivamile.

Ngesikhathi uMbiko eMkhandlwini Omhlophe weBesifazane nabamantombazane ubeka izindinganiso ezingaphansi kwazo zonke izinsizakalo zempi, igatsha ngalinye lingabuyekeza futhi lichibiyele inqubomgomo ngokusekelwe ekusebenzeni noma isidingo.

Izinguquko kumgomo zivame ukubuyekezwa, njengokungathi kuhamba ngekhefu lokubeletha phakathi kwe-United States Navy ne-Marine Corp kusukela ngoJulayi 2015, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi omama abalindeleyo bafunde futhi baqonde yonke imihlahlandlela yenqubomgomo kusengaphambili. Nazi ezinye zeziqondiso zamanje eziphathelene namagatsha asebenzayo ahlukahlukene.

Air Force

Imihlahlandlela yokushiya umama kanye nomndeni itholakala ku-AFI 36-3003 futhi ithi umama unezinsuku ezingu-42 zekhefu elingenakho ukukhokhiswa kwe-convalescent ngaphandle kokuthi kuchazwe ngenye ikomidi lesikhungo. Ngokuya ngempilo ye-servicemember noma isanda kuzalwa, ikhefu lokubeletha linganikezwa ngesisekelo esidingekayo: ikhefu lokubeletha kuleli gatsha liqala ngokushesha ngemuva kokukhishwa esibhedlela.

Amasosha

Inqubomgomo kanye nomthethonqubo wekhefu lokubeletha zingatholakala ku-Army Regulation 600-8-10, eyayinomhla ka-Agasti 2011 wokukhishwa kwe-Rapid Action Revision. Ngaphansi kwemithethonqubo, izinsikazi zezinsikazi zinikezwa izinsuku ezingu-42 zekhefu elingenayo icala ngemuva kokuzalwa ingane. Ukuhlinzekwa kulo mthethonqubo kuvumela amakhomishana ukuba afune abasebenzi ukuba babuyele emsebenzini ngokushesha kunezinsuku ezingu-42 uma ngabe i-mission idinga yona kanye ne-servicemember yabesifazane inikezwe imvume yezokwelapha.

I-Navy ne-Marine Corp

Ngokuvuselelwa kuJulayi 2015, i-United States Navy yamemezela ukuthi abesilisa besifazane bazoba namaviki ayisishiyagalolunye ayisishiyagalolunye wekhefu lokubeletha okuzosetshenziswa kulo nyaka wokuqala wokuphila kwengane.

Lesi siqondiso esisha sesisetshenzisiwe ngokuphindaphindiwe kunoma yimuphi umsikazi wesifazane oye wahlinzeka ngekhefu le-convalescent lokuzalwa kwengane kusukela ngoJanuwari 2015. Izinhlinzeko zisho nokuthi umama omusha akadingi ukusebenzisa umama noma umkhumbi we-convalescent ashiye konke ngenye isikhathi, kodwa kumele asisebenzise kungakapheli unyaka owodwa wokuzalwa.

I-Coast Guard

Okuningiliziwe ku-COMDTINST 1000.9, omama abasha banikezwa izinsuku ezingu-42 zekhefu elingalawuleki, ngezandiso ezinokwenzeka ezisekelwe ezidingo zomama noma ingane. Lezi zandiso kumele zamukeleke ngudokotela kanye nomphathi ophethe. Uma kwenzeka u-servicemember wesifazane enomntwana ngenkathi evalelwe ku-brig, khetha izimo zekhefu zokubeletha azitholakali.

Kunezici eziningi ezithinta ngokuphathelene nomama omusha, servicemember noma cha. Uma kwenzeka ukwelashwa okuqhubekayo, ukubeletha noma izibonelelo zesikhathi ukuze ubuyele esimweni somzimba ophezulu, qiniseka ukuthi ubhekisela kumphathi wakho we-unit control.
