Parliamentarians yesterday approved a proposal ratcheting up the length of maternity leave of government employees by ten more days to 70.
Earlier, woman employees in government jobs had only 60 days to take care of her baby, before returning to work.
The new rule also gives a father a three-day leave to help the mother and baby.
Earlier, he had only a single day for that.
Deputy Fatima Al-Qatari said the cost for implementing the proposal does not exceed 500 thousand dinars, which, she said, “is very small compared to the benefits reaped.”
The cost is also minor compared to the total manpower-related expenditures, which is more than one billion dinars, according to the financial statements for the year 2019, she added. Al-Qatari said the extra days would have a tremendous impact on a woman’s psyche and health.
