The report of the Pissarides committee proposes:
According to the provisions of Law 4808/2021, (articles 27 and 28) every working father is entitled to a paid paternity leave of fourteen (14) working days, which must be taken upon the birth of the child. This leave may: either a) be granted two (2) days before the expected date of delivery, in which case the remaining twelve (12) days are granted, in whole or in part, immediately due to the birth of the child, within thirty (30) days from the date of birth or b) to be granted after the date of birth. For the orderly operation of the business, the employee informs the employer of the probable day of delivery, so that the latter is informed in time.
Every working parent or person exercising parental care has an individual and non-transferable right to parental leave for the upbringing of the child, lasting four (4) months, which he can use continuously or in parts, until the child reaches the age of eight (8 ) years old, in order to fulfill the minimum upbringing obligations towards it. In case of adoption or fostering of a child up to eight (8) years of age, parental leave is granted from the time the child joins the family.
Therefore, the proposal is evaluated as partially implemented, as it does not incorporate all of the proposals, but a part of them
