What changes about paternity leave in 2021? You'll have four more weeks

No comments TODAY WE TALK ABOUTCarlos Roberto@loslunes_alsol

One of the aspects that has gone almost unnoticed in the presentation of the General State Budgets is the improvement of paternity leave to make it equal to maternity leave. In this way, if we have a child in 2021, both fathers and mothers will have 16 weeks of paid leave, provided that the PGE is approved.

In this way, the equality in said permits is completed, which until a few years ago was only enjoyed by the mother and little by little the father has also begun to enjoy. It has gone from 15 days to 5 weeks, then 8 and now it is set at 12. In 2021, motherhood is equal to 16 weeks.

The 16 weeks of leave for both parents can be divided as follows:

That is, the first six weeks both parents are completely taken. Then they can adapt and choose the best formula to reconcile professional life with the care of the newborn. With this increase and combining vacations for both parents and breastfeeding permits, the baby's first year is practically covered.

The amount of paternity and maternity leave will be 100% of the regulatory base that is established for the temporary disability benefit derived from common contingencies. In addition, the self-employed have the fee subsidized in full during said permit. It is an income exempt from IRPF withholding.

In any case, once we have budgets, it will be necessary to see if any modification is introduced in the way in which the permits have to be taken, if they are obligatory or not, or if they are allowed to be waived. It is not the first job where it is frowned upon for a man to take all the leave and prefer to spend part of this first year caring for his son, neglecting his commitment to the company.
