This booklet is being issued to explain the amended rules for parental leave since their
reform in December 2016.
Since then, parental leave is divisible and compensated by real replacement income.
This booklet, published in the CSL Collection series, is intended as a practical guide for parents.
By way of introduction, the historical development of the legal provisions on parental leave have been summarised.
The first part describes the different types and conditions for parental leave, the procedure for granting and
the guarantees protecting parents.
The second part of this booklet contains sample letters from applicants. It also includes an example of the
form sent to the Children’s Future Fund by those requesting a parental leave allowance.
