I. Pregnancy Leave and Parenting Leave Anyone who has worked for the same employer for 20 weeks has the right to take 65,438+07 weeks of pregnancy leave (including before and after delivery). If the doctor proves that she can't work immediately, the pregnant woman can get more than six weeks' vacation.

Employees have the right to resume their posts before taking leave after giving birth, and they also enjoy the same rights if their colleagues in the same post get a raise. Pregnancy shouldn't affect her chances of promotion. Maternity leave can only be enjoyed from the first16th week before delivery. However, under special circumstances, such as delayed delivery, risk of miscarriage, stillbirth and poor health of the mother, female employees can enjoy extra special maternity leave (unpaid). Legal abortion and abortion have the right to apply for a holiday of not more than 3 weeks. In case of miscarriage, pregnant women can apply for leave of no more than 5 weeks after delivery.

When applying for maternity leave to an employer, a female employee shall provide a pregnancy certificate issued by a doctor and write a written letter stating the start and end dates of her maternity leave. The employing unit shall allow female employees to take vacations, and at the same time ensure that female employees can return to their jobs after vacations and receive the same wages and welfare benefits as before. In addition to maternity leave, female employees can take temporary leave to go to the hospital for pregnancy examination. She should inform her employer as soon as possible, and the employer should allow her to be absent from work temporarily to see a doctor.

Parental leave can only begin after the birth of a child or the adoption of a preschool child, but the end time shall not be later than 70 weeks thereafter. If the duration of parental leave does not exceed 12 weeks, the employer must allow the employee to return to work and restore his original salary.

Second, the calculation of allowances.

Pregnant mothers can start to receive pregnancy allowance eight weeks before delivery, and warmly remind friends who immigrate to Canada to wait two weeks (the government will not pay) before they can start to receive the allowance. Therefore, pregnant mothers can take maternity leave at least 10 weeks before the expected date of delivery, and then immediately apply to the Canadian Human Resources Employment Insurance Office for pregnancy allowance.

Pregnancy allowance can only be paid up to 15 weeks, but it will stop after the baby is born 17 weeks. If the baby needs hospitalization due to health problems, the period of 17 weeks can be extended until the baby is discharged from the hospital for home care, but it cannot exceed 52 weeks after the baby is born. In any case, the pregnancy allowance can only be received for 15 weeks.

A baby's biological parents or adoptive parents can receive a childcare allowance of up to 35 weeks, enabling them to stay at home and take care of a newborn or adopted child. This allowance can be collected by one mother or father or shared by both parents. As long as one party accepts the two-week waiting period, the other party does not have to fulfill this condition. If the mother has already gone through a two-week waiting period when receiving the pregnancy allowance, there is no need to go through a two-week waiting period when receiving the childcare allowance.

Parenting allowance can be collected as early as the baby's birthday or the day after the adopted child returns to China. The 35-week holiday cannot exceed 52 weeks after their birth or return home.
