What the employee should do
The law provides that during the period of paternity leave, the employee receives the salary in full, even the days he / she is away. It is the father’s obligation to inform the company of the child’s birth to record his / her absence days, and of course, he / she cannot simply not show up for work or notify only at the end of this period.
If the child is born during the father’s vacation, he will not have the right to leave for 5 paid days on his return to work, since the law provides this right precisely to accompany the first moments with the child and assist the child. mother.
Paternity Leave – Foster Parents
The law provides for different terms for paternity leave for adoptive parents . In this situation, the adoptive parents can request up to 120 days of leave and also the maternity salary if the adoptive mother is not a taxpayer.
Another point is that the date of birth, for adoption cases, is considered the day the custody is granted, counting from then on the days of the leave. The benefits of maintaining the payment without discount are applied in the same way as provided for in the CLT for biological parents.
The tip is to find out more about the federal program “Empresa Cidadã” and understand how your company can participate. With fewer or more days, the important thing is that you can enjoy and participate in every charming moment with your baby and mom, who needs a lot of support and support in this very special time.
