The bill proposes to supplement The Labor Code of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine "On Leave" with a new type of leave - leave at the birth of a child lasting up to 14 calendar days, paid for by the employer.

The draft law envisages defining parental leave until the child reaches the age of three as an equal right of each of the child's parents (mother and father).

The draft law also proposes to supplement the provisions of Article 182-1 of the Labor Code of Ukraine and Article 19 of the Law of Ukraine "On Leave" on the right of employees of both sexes who have children or an adult child with a disability (from subgroup A of the first group) to additional leave.

And supplement the provisions of Article 51 of the Labor Code of Ukraine on the possibility of establishing reduced working hours for men who have children under the age of fourteen or a child with a disability, and father raising children without a mother.
