Statute overview

About this statute

This provision says the maternity leave law implements EU rules and states that parents have rights to leave and maternity benefits, including leave for pregnancy, birth, adoption, and bereavement, plus benefits for care of seriously ill children. Section 39 limits maternity benefit eligibility in some cross-border cases and gives women, mothers, fathers/co-mothers, and adoptive parents specific rights to leave from work around pregnancy, birth, and adoption. This section sets leave rights for parents, adoptive parents, a surrogate mother, and some employed/self-employed people, including start windows and possible extensions. Section 9 sets leave-use rules and notice duties to the employer, including deadlines for announcing leave, rules on resuming work by agreement, and time limits for taking delayed leave. Regler om, hvornår lønmodtagere skal underrette arbejdsgiveren om fravær/orlov, og hvem der har ret til barselsdagpenge, overdragelse og varslingsfrister.
