HB04113: Enacted into law "RA11210" on Feb. 20, 2019 | AN ACT INCREASING THE MATERNITY LEAVE PERIOD TO ONE HUNDRED FIVE (105) DAYS FOR FEMALE WORKERS WITH AN OPTION TO EXTEND FOR AN ADDITIONAL THIRTY (30) DAYS WITHOUT PAY, AND GRANTING AN ADDITIONAL FIFTEEN (15) D
This bill proposes to increase the maternity leave period to 100 days for female workers in both the government and private sectors. This will provide mothers with ample time to recover from childbirth and care for their newborns.
A significant provision of this bill is the option to extend the maternity leave for an additional 30 days without pay. This gives mothers more flexibility in deciding how much time they need to spend with their babies without losing their jobs.
