Maternity/Paternity Leave

Maternity and paternity leave are workplace benefits that allow parents time off around the birth or adoption of a child. Maternity leave is for mothers, typically covering pregnancy recovery and bonding, while paternity leave is for fathers to support and bond with their new child. The duration and pay vary by country, employer, and legal regulations. These leaves aim to support family well-being, promote bonding, and ensure parents can care for their child without immediate job pressures. Both types of leave are important for fostering healthy family dynamics and child development.
