Is the mother entitled to paid parental leave up to the age of 2?
If a mother has already taken maternity leave, childbirth or adoption and has not left her child for childcare, she is entitled to additional childcare leave until the age of 2 years. During maternity leave, compensation is paid and the period is counted toward length of service. He may also consent as a mother (adoptive parent) to the child, his father (his adoptive parent) or one of the parents to take the above leave as long as he is employed. If the mother does not take advantage of her maternity leave or take part of it, she is paid financial compensation by the State Social Security. If a mother has adopted a child and her husband or her parents need to take care of him or her, with their consent, they may benefit from the types of leave referred to above, with cash benefits being paid for the child's upbringing period. The time they spend on vacation is also counted towards seniority. This is also the case when he leaves his child for foster care, where only one spouse is granted leave. When is the mother's leave to breastfeed and feed her young child? When a mother is to breastfeed her child, until the age of 8 months, she is given 1 hour twice daily or 2 consecutive hours of paid leave on a full-time basis of 8 hours. When she is breastfeeding twins or premature infants, she is paid 3 hours of paid leave a day until she reaches the age of 8 months, and then 2 hours a day, at the discretion of the health authorities. If the mother works part-time (less than 8 hours), this leave is usually 1 hour a day and 2 hours in the case of breastfeeding twins or premature infants. This type of leave may also be granted at the discretion of the health authorities. In which cases is the mother entitled to unpaid parental leave up to the age of 8? There are two options for using paid parental leave for children up to 2 years of age: As a parent, the mother is entitled to 6 months of unpaid parental leave until the age of 8. It can take up to 5 months from the other parent's leave. If, as a parent, the mother takes care of her own child, she is given 12 months (instead of the above 6 months) unpaid leave until she is 8 years old. This is possible when he or she is not married to the other parent and does not live in the same household; as well as when the other parent is deprived of parental rights or has died. This type of leave can be used at one time or in part (then it should last at least 5 working days). The mother must notify her employer at least 10 working days in advance. Time spent on leave is recognized as seniority.
