Unpaid maternity leave to be extended from 14 to 26 weeks

A bill extending unpaid maternity leave from 14 to 26 weeks has passed the second and third reading at the Knesset.

 

According to the new law, after the 14-week maternity leave, a woman will be automatically entitled to an additional 12 weeks of unpaid leave, unless she decides to return to work. The bill was initiated by Knesset Members Dalia Itzik (Kadima) and Tzipi Hotovely (Likud). (Amnon Meranda)
