Pregnancy and birth

1 Female employees are entitled to paid pregnancy and maternity leave in connection with giving birth.

2 The applicable social security provisions to which the employee is entitled due to her pregnancy and maternity leave are deducted from the entitlement referred to in paragraph 1.

3 If an employee does not work the same number of hours each week, her salary for the purpose of paragraph 1 will be considered to be the average salary she earned over the thirteen calendar weeks immediately preceeding the day on which pregnancy leave starts.

4 The employee must notify the employer of:

a. the date as of which she intends to take pregnancy leave no later than four weeks in advance; this notification must be accompanied by a certificate from a doctor or a midwife indicating the expected date of the birth;

b. the birth no later than seven days after it takes place.

5 The duration of pregnancy and maternity leave, which is at least 16 weeks in total, and the periods in which such leave may be taken are determined with reference to local regulations and local usage and are included in the mission version.
