Parental leave up to 1,5 years old: when does it start, how to apply
A newborn baby requires a lot of time and care from parents, so a working woman can take parental leave when she reaches 1,5 years of age. During this period, she will retain her job, but in order to receive benefits, you need to know the nuances.
When does parental leave up to 1,5 years begin?
As soon as maternity leave ends, one of the parents, even a grandmother or grandfather, can apply for a childcare allowance for a child up to 1,5 years old. If the birth went well, then the decree ends 70 days after the birth of the baby, if they were difficult – after 80 days, with multiple pregnancies – after 110 days.
Parental leave up to 1,5 years old can be extended up to 3 years
A woman who has given birth to a child is entitled to exemption from official duties for a period of up to 3 years. Moreover, for the first 1,5 years, she will receive monthly compensation of at least 2908,62 rubles, then the amount per month is 50 rubles. The money is paid by the company where the mother works.
Unemployed women can also take parental leave. They should contact the social welfare service.
The money is paid from the day the leave is granted and the payments end when the child turns 1,5 years old.
A woman can go to work earlier than the deadline established by law, and all compensation will remain if the allowance is issued for her father, grandfather or grandmother.
To receive material compensation, you must apply for benefits no later than 6 months before the child turns 1,5 years old. If you miss this deadline, then you will not receive money.
To obtain a vacation, you will need the following documents:
- closed certificate of incapacity for work;
- a statement about going on vacation and the appointment of a monthly allowance;
- the birth certificate of the baby;
- a certificate from the husband’s work that he does not go on parental leave;
- copy of passport.
After submitting the documents, the woman will receive an order from the employer on the appointment of leave and benefits. It must be certified by the seal and signature of the head.
If a woman is on parental leave for up to 1,5 years and during this period goes on maternity leave, then she will have to give up one of the benefits. She will not be able to receive both types of monetary compensation.
Nursing leave up to 1,5 years is counted in the total work experience, so if you have a livelihood, you should not go to work. At the age of 3 years, the baby’s nervous system is strengthened, so the baby needs maternal care.
