Employee Leave Policies
Sick days
- There is no obligatory commitment for the business to pay the representative compensation during debilitated leave.
 - Following 3 days of wiped-out leave, Social Security will pay the worker.
 - Practically speaking, numerous businesses pay standard compensation for the initial 2 days (which are not covered by Social Security) or, in any event, for the whole time of sick leave (and get a partial refund when paid by Social Security).
 - Following a month and a half of sick leave, the employee qualifies for termination of employment.
 
Maternity leave
- Working moms qualify for four months of maternity leave at full pay. 
 - Two months of this leave may be taken before the child's birth. 
 - No less than 3 weeks should be taken before the due date. 
 - On account of premature or multiple births, the total maternity leave is 18 weeks. 
 - Payment during maternity leave comes from social security.
 
Paternity leave
- The father qualifies for 5 days of paternity leave.
 - During paternity leave, the father receives full compensation, paid by the employer.
