Description
The six-month additional maternity leave was previously recognized as period covered by social security only for pension purposes; as a result, mothers getting this leave faced great difficulties in matters of health and unemployment insurance, due to the six-month gap. After the Ombudsman’s intervention, the Manpower Employment Agency OAED and the Social Security Foundation IKA collaborated in recognizing the 6-month period for health and unemployment insurance purposes too.
