\n\tmaternity leave. How does it work, what are the possibilities? What do you have to take into account as an employer and as an employee? We have listed the most frequently asked questions for you.<\/p>\n How long am I entitled to maternity leave?\n\t\t\t\t
If you are pregnant, you are entitled to 6 weeks of maternity leave and at least 10 weeks of maternity leave. In total, you are entitled to at least 16 weeks of leave. Part of the maternity leave may be staggered.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n When can you take maternity leave?\n\t\t\t\t
Maternity leave lasts until the day of delivery. You calculate the start of the leave by counting back 6 weeks from the day after the due date of delivery.<\/p>\n
You can choose to take maternity leave later, then you can add that week or weeks to the maternity leave. You must take maternity leave no later than 4 weeks before the day after your due date of delivery. What you take less in 6 weeks of maternity leave, you add to your maternity leave.<\/p>\n What if you give birth after the due date of delivery?\n\t\t\t\t
Will your baby be born after the due date of delivery? Then you add the days between birth and due date of delivery to the term of 16 weeks. The total leave period then lasts longer than 16 weeks.<\/p>\n
An example: you stop working 6 weeks before the day after the due date. Your baby will be born 2 weeks after this date. You then have 8 weeks of maternity leave and 10 weeks of maternity leave. In total, you will then have 18 weeks of leave.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n What if you give birth before the due date of delivery?\n\t\t\t\t
Was your baby born prematurely? Then you add the days that your maternity leave lasted less than 6 weeks to the maternity leave. The total leave period is always at least 16 weeks.<\/p>\n
An example: you stop working 6 weeks before the day after the due date. Your baby is born 1 week before that date. You then have 5 weeks of maternity leave and 11 weeks of maternity leave. In total you have 16 weeks of leave.<\/p>\n Can I also take the maternity leave flexibly?\n\t\t\t\t
Yes, since 1 January 2015 you can take the last period of your maternity leave in parts. It concerns the leave that remains after 6 weeks after the date of delivery. You can take this part of the leave spread over a period of up to 30 weeks. You do this in consultation with your client.<\/p>\n How long is my leave with twins or multiple births?\n\t\t\t\t
You are entitled to 10 weeks of maternity leave and at least 10 weeks of maternity leave if you are pregnant with twins or multiple births. The total leave is then 20 weeks.<\/p>\n How much salary will I receive during my maternity leave?\n\t\t\t\t
A maternity allowance is 100% of the daily wage. The UWV calculates the daily wage on the basis of the SV wage that you earned during the employment in which the leave starts. They look at a period of 1 year, which ends on the last day of the penultimate month or 4 weeks prior to the day on which the maternity leave begins. They call this period the reference period.<\/p>\n Is my partner entitled to maternity leave?\n\t\t\t\t
Since 1 January 2019, partners have been given the number of working hours per week of maternity leave once. For example, does your partner work 6 hours a day for 5 days? Then he or she gets 30 hours of leave: 5 x 6 working hours. The employer pays for this leave. Your partner will take these leave days at their own discretion (of course in consultation with his or her employer). But must do this within 4 weeks after the birth of the child.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n Download the knowledge map in PDF here.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" maternity leave.
