Paternity leave is the one granted to a worker for a period of 16 weeks after the birth or adoption of a minor to be able to be absent from their job.
It is important to note that currently paternity leave has been equal to maternity leave, so that both parents enjoy 16 weeks to care for the new member of the family.
For people who request this permit, they can also request help for a dependent child that we explain in detail. In addition, we have a step-by-step guide to request maternity leave.
On the other hand, from April 1, 2019, the well-known paternity leave and maternity leave were unified and renamed 'Help for the Birth and Care of the Minor'.
