FAQs
Who is eligible for parental leave benefits in the Czech Republic?
Full-time carers of newborn children can apply for parental leave benefits in the Czech Republic after maternity leave ends. Either parent can request parental leave as long as they provide full-time care over the entire calendar year. The child must not attend daycare / nursery / preschool. Further, the parent must be employed at the time of child-rearing, or an OSVČ (freelancer) voluntarily contributing to additional insurance. If on unemployment, it must be less than 180 days without employment. Unemployed applicants also must prove employment for at least 270 days over the past 2 years.
What is the difference between maternity leave and parental leave?
Maternity leave is a leave from employment starting up to 8 weeks prior to giving birth. Benefits continue up to 6 weeks after having the child. Families may also choose to transfer benefits to the other partner after this 6 week period. Meanwhile, the employer must keep the parent as an employee for the entire period (28 - 37 weeks). They also must return the employee to the same position afterwards. On the other hand, parental leave begins only after maternity leave. For the employer, parental leave involves a maximum period of 3 years. It also entails the same benefits as maternity leave, with amounts determined by the family’s income.
How much is paid parental leave in the Czech Republic?
Parental leave entitles eligible parents to 70% of their regular salary in monthly installments. The maximum allowance for 2024 is CZK 350 thousand for one child, and 525 thousand for 2 or more. To claim multiple children, they must have been born at the same time. The maximum allowance is then based on the family’s income. This total amount remains the same over the leave period, while the parent decides how much to claim each month. The maximum amount of time a parent can claim parental leave is up to 4 years of the child’s life.
What are the minimum and maximum monthly benefits?
The minimum monthly installment for parental leave is CZK 13,000, up to a maximum of 53,910 per month. How much you receive monthly must be between these amounts. The total months must then equal your maximum parental leave allowance, for a maximum of up to 4 years.
Can I change the amount of my monthly parental allowance?
Parents can apply to change the rate they receive in monthly installments during the process of parental leave. This will consequently change the total amount of months remaining on leave. The parent can apply for changes only after 3 months from the last rate change.
