Besides having leave rights, mothers also have the right to choose whether they want to return to work or not after the leave period ends.
The company is also required to provide facilities for breastfeeding or milking milk for mothers who return to work.
During leave, mothers are encouraged to multiply rest and self -care to fully recover after giving birth.
Besides Mother, Dad is also entitled to leave to accompany your partner during labor.
Employees who take care of giving birth should not be dismissed by the company during the leave period.
The mother also has the right to ask for additional leave if the child is sick or requires special treatment.
Maternity Leave is part of women's human rights and is important to ensure the health of mothers and children and gender equality at work.
