About this statute

This preamble says the law gives all parents a right to leave in connection with pregnancy, birth, adoption, temporary placement, and bereavement leave, and gives maternity/parental benefits to employees and self-employed persons. Section 39 limits barselsdagpenge in some cross-border social security cases and gives several leave rights for pregnancy, birth, adoption, and surrogacy-related parenthood. This section gives various leave rights connected to a child’s birth or adoption, including start windows and extensions. Section 9 sets several parental-leave rules, including when leave must be used, notice duties to an employer, and options to resume work by agreement. Workers and parents must give timely notice to their employer about leave-related events, and Udbetaling Danmark pays maternity benefits for qualifying leave periods.
