In Kyrgyzstan, new mothers are entitled to maternity leave, but the Labor Code does not specify any paternity leave. Generally speaking, mothers can take 70 days before delivery and 56 days after delivery. For women who work in the highlands, they are entitled to a total of 140 days of maternity leave (70 days before delivery and 70 days after delivery). If there are complications with delivery, women can take 186 days of maternity leave, and if they experience the birth of one or more infants, they can take 180 days of maternity leave. For the first ten days, the women are paid 100% of benefits from employer funds. After that time, the payment comes out of state benefits. After her maternity leave is complete, a woman may take an additional eighteen months off as part of childcare leave.<ref>[http://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/---europe/---ro-geneva/---sro-moscow/documents/publication/wcms_312651.pdf International Labour Organization - WORK AND FAMILY: THE REPUBLIC OF KYRGYZSTAN]</ref> | |||
