In order to encourage fathers to share the parental leave with the mother, the Labour Minister invited social partners to find incentive wage compensations during the negotiations of collective agreements. Trade union organizations are strongly opposed to this proposal and expect better results from the law. (Ref. 070751)
The reform from 2002 had created a right to 32 weeks of parental leave divided as follows: 1/ mothers are entitled four weeks of antenatal leave and to fourteen weeks of postnatal leave; 2/ fathers are entitled to two weeks of leave during the fourteen first weeks following the child’s birth; 3/ parents can share thirty-two weeks full time (or forty weeks part-time), either at the same time or one after the other, with an allowance based on their salary, however not exceeding 3.415 crowns a week (458.481 euros).
