Under the previous law, female employees were entitled to 98 days of maternity leave (90 days for childbirth and an additional 8 days for prenatal checkups). During the 90 days of childbirth leave, employees received 100% of their salary from the employer for 45 days, and 50% of their salary from Social Security for the remaining 45 days. Under the new law, female employees are entitled to up to 120 days of maternity leave per pregnancy. The employer is required to pay 100% of the employee’s salary for up to 60 days, while the remaining days can be covered under Social Security benefits.
In the case of a female employee who takes maternity leave for childbirth, she is entitled to an additional continuous leave of up to 15 days to care for her child if the child is ill, at risk of complications, has abnormalities, or has a disability. A medical certificate must be presented to support this leave.
