In the compulsory social insurance area, the policy extends the maternity leave period for male employees to 60 days from the date of birth of the child instead of 30 days as before. Employees can take multiple days off as long as the total number of days off does not exceed the regulations and the last leave is within the first 60 days after the birth of the child.

The number of days off remains the same, specifically: 5 working days if the wife gives birth naturally; 7 working days if the wife has a cesarean section or gives birth before 32 weeks; 10 working days if the wife gives birth to twins, in case of triplets or more, an additional 3 working days off for each child from the third child onwards; 14 days if the wife gives birth to twins by cesarean section.

In case of triplets or more having to have surgery, men are entitled to an additional 3 working days off for each child, starting from the third child onwards.
