The new “Paternity leave” was increased to 15 days in Morocco for any employee in the public sector.
A male employee can now benefit from a fully paid paternity leave for a period of 15 days, starting from the day of the child’s birth until the baby reaches 14 weeks.
The new law also stipulates that the employee who has been entrusted with sponsoring a child under the age of 24 months shall benefit from 15 days of paid leave for sponsorship.
The requirements cover as well the female employee who becomes entrusted with sponsoring a toddler beneath 14 weeks of age, in accordance with the legislative and regulatory texts in force, benefited from a 14-month sponsorship leave, through which she might obtain her complete wages.
The regulation also permits the worker to benefit from a breastfeeding leave of one hour consistent per day, beginning from the date of exhaustion of the leave granted for childbirth or sponsorship, as the case may be, till the new child or subsidized infant reaches the age of 24 months.
These new provisions for the advantage of public area personnel come in accordance with the social dialogue settlement signed on April 30, 2022, between the government, the union facilities, and the overall confederation of Moroccan corporations.
The authorities stated that those provisions would preserve the rights associated with motherhood and childcare, along with international conference no. 183 regarding the revision of the maternity protection convention adopted via the general conference of the international labor employer, which Morocco ratified on April 13, 2011.
