Proposition de loi modifiant la loi du 3 juillet 1978 relative aux contrats de travail visant à allonger et à rendre obligatoire le congé de naissance.

This is a Belgian private member's bill submitted to the Chamber of Representatives. It would amend the 1978 law on employment contracts to lengthen birth leave and make it compulsory for employers to grant it. Birth leave is the period of leave a working parent can take around the arrival of a newborn child. Based on the title alone, the bill aims to strengthen the leave entitlement following childbirth. Employees who become parents in Belgium, particularly those whose birth leave would be extended, would be affected, as would employers who would be required to grant the leave. The exact duration, pay arrangements and conditions are not visible from the metadata and would need to be checked in the full bill text.
