This leave amounts to a maximum of 26 times the number of hours in your employee&#8217;s working week. From 2 August 2022, employees with children can take a total of 9 working weeks of paid parental leave. Your employee can take the leave consecutively in one go or flexibly.    <\/p>\n<p><strong>Key points\/conditions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The right to payment for parental leave applies to employees and <a href=\"\/werkgevers\/payrolluitbesteden\">payrollers<\/a>, including employees not insured under the Sickness Benefits Act who have an employment contract (such as DGA&#8217;s and domestic help).<\/li>\n<li>The duration of the paid parental leave benefit is 9 weeks.<\/li>\n<li>In the event of the birth of multiple children (own children) or the adoption of multiple children, the employee is entitled to a maximum of 9 working weeks of paid parental leave for each child.<\/li>\n<li>The payment level has been set at 70% of the daily wage, with a maximum of 70% of the maximum daily wage.<\/li>\n<li>The employer applies for the benefit for the employee via the Absence Reporter or Employer Portal of the UWV. The benefit is a WAZO benefit. Applications for the benefit can only be made for full working weeks.  <\/li>\n<li>The UWV will pay the benefit to you in a maximum of 3 instalments. The first payment request is made simultaneously with the application. You can then make 2 further payment requests if you wish. You do this via the Absence Reporter or the UWV employer portal.   <\/li>\n<li>The benefit is only available for parental leave taken in the first year after birth.<\/li>\n<li>In the case of adoption, the parental leave benefit is only available in the first year after the actual date of adoption.<\/li>\n<li>Parental leave also applies to parents who have a child before the law comes into force. The child must be younger than 1 year old when the law takes effect. Parents must also be employees at that time and not yet have taken the full entitlement (26 times the working hours per week) to parental leave.   <\/li>\n<li>The remaining parental leave can still be taken until the child&#8217;s eighth birthday, but it remains unpaid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you have any questions about this?
