The government approved a reform in the Council of Ministers on Tuesday. breastfeeding permissionAllows paid leave for workers with newborn children 28 consecutive days. Or in two fractions of 14 days, or according to “all benefits,” as detailed in a statement from the Ministry of Labor. The Executive is thus universalizing a practice currently common in collective agreements, aimed at improving the accommodation of workers not covered by collective bargaining.
Breastfeeding leave, or technically ‘leave to care for a breastfeeding child’, is a right recognized in the Labor Law. In 2019, the Management, following some positive decisions in this direction, expanded this enjoyment openly to both men and women.
This means workers can leave their jobs for one hour each day to care for their newborn children without losing pay. By birth, adoption, custody for adoption purposes, or multiple foster care.
Employees can benefit from this right until the child is nine months old. Or it is possible for the baby to be up to 12 months old if both parents working in the same company want it. Crunches are usually called after exercise. permission for the birth of the childIt takes a maximum of 16 weeks.
Absence from the workplace for one hour every day can be counterproductive at the organizational level, and therefore many collective agreements already consider the possibility of dividing this pleasure into periods. Now what the Administration wants to do is allow all workers, whether covered by the agreement or not, to squeeze in that half hour so they can work 28 consecutive days in a year.
Breastfeeding leave is paid leave where the worker continues to receive the same salary and is covered by the company.
