Adopted the Law of Ukraine No. 3695 “On Amending Certain Legislative Acts to Provide Mother and Father with Equal Opportunities to Take Care of Their Child”.
The Law of Ukraine provides mother and father with equal opportunities for being granted child care leave until the child is 3 years old; introduces for a child’s father (or grandmother/grandfather) new types of paid leave for up to 14 days – in case a child was born; a child’s father is now eligible for an additional paid leave for employees who have children with disability.
The Law provides that reduced working hours can be established at employer’s expense for men who have children under 14 years of age or a child with disability as well as for single mothers or fathers.
