Important changes for female employees suffering pregnancy loss
The Minister of Labour, Family and Social Policy has signed a regulation which eases formalities for women employees who have had a loss of pregnancy. Until now, the regulations did not allow women to take shortened maternity leave, if they were unable to identify their child’s sex.
The regulation scraps this requirement and brings in a new document, a physician’s certificate of miscarriage or stillbirth, which gives rise to an entitlement to maternity benefit pay.
The regulation will come into force 14 days after it has been published.
