In Germany, pregnant employees are entitled to a protection period, also known as "Mutterschutz," which entitles them to at least 16 weeks of maternity leave (8 weeks before the birth and 8 weeks after the birth). During this period, they are entitled to a maternity allowance ("Wochengeld," in German), which should be about equivalent to their salaries. Freelance contractors also receive maternity allowance. Furthermore, mothers and fathers are entitled to take a parental leave period until the child reaches 24 months old. The minimum amount of time for parental leave is 2 months. During this time, childcare allowance ("Kinderbetreuungsgeld," in German) is allowed, and parents have five types of childcare allowance models to choose from.<ref>[https://www.migration.gv.at/en/living-and-working-in-austria/working/leave-annual-leave-parental-leave-etc/ Leave (annual leave, parental leave etc.)]</ref> | |||
