Maternity and Parental Leave Policies

Maternity and parental leave policies are guidelines that allow parents to take time off work to care for their new children. Maternity leave is specifically for mothers after giving birth, while parental leave is for both mothers and fathers to support their family. These policies typically provide job protection and may offer paid or unpaid time off, depending on the country's regulations or employer's practices. The goal is to help families bond with their new child while ensuring job security during this important life transition.
