In Azerbaijan, pregnant women are entitled to a total of 126 days of paid maternity leave, which generally consists of 70 days prior to the expected birth of the child and 56 days after the expected birth of the child. If there are special circumstances (for example, a difficult birth or the birth of two or more children), the mother may be entitled to up to 70 days of maternity leave after the birth. However, there is a different set of maternity laws for agricultural workers. If you are an agricultural worker in Azerbaijan, you are entitled to 140 days off for a normal delivery, 156 days off for a difficult delivery and 180 days off if you deliver two or more children. In total, 70 of the maternity days should still be taken off prior to the expected birth. As for fathers, they are entitled to 14 days of unpaid paternity leave after the birth of a child.<ref>[https://www.angloinfo.com/how-to/azerbaijan/healthcare/pregnancy-birth/leave-benefits Parental Leave and Maternity Benefits]</ref> | |||
