Parental leave - notification

  • An employee is entitled to a parental leave after having worked continuously for 6 months for the same employer. The same applies to employees whether they have been employed temporarily or indefinitely. 
  • Employees who plan to use their entitlement to a parental leave shall inform their employer as soon as possible or a least 6 weeks prior to the planned start date of the leave. You will have to notify of parental leave, the form you will find by clicking here. The notification must be signed by an employee and an employer, and the employer shall submit a copy of it to the employee and The Maternity/Paternity Leave Fund. 
  • The employer shall record the parental leave so that an employee can obtain a certificate for the number of days taken for parental leave if they wish.
