In Nepal, women are given paid maternity leave. However, Nepalese maternity leave policy does not yet meet international standards, which calls for a minimum of at least 12 weeks off. The current policy allows government civil servants to receive 60 days of paid maternity leave and 15 days of paid paternity leave. For all other workers, Labour Rules 2050 allows for 52 days of paid maternity leave. This means that women are legally guaranteed 52-60 days of paid maternity leave, which is among the lowest in South Asia.<ref>[https://www.spotlightnepal.com/2016/09/09/time-off-for-working-mothers-in-nepal/ Time Off for Working Mothers in Nepal]</ref> | |||
