Bulgaria is known to have some of the best maternity leave laws in the world. When a woman has a baby, she is entitled to 410 days of maternity leave, and 45 of those days must be taken before the actual birth. Furthermore, people on maternity leave are entitled to 90% of their pay, once they have covered the risk of the period with a 12-month contributory service.<ref>[https://www.ruskov-law.eu/bulgaria/article/maternity-leave.html MATERNITY LEAVE IN BULGARIA]</ref> However, paternity leave benefits are much less flexible and comprehensive. Fathers are entitled to 15 days of paternity leave after the birth of the baby.<ref>[https://www.angloinfo.com/how-to/bulgaria/bulgarian-black-sea/healthcare/pregnancy-birth/maternity-leave Maternity Leave, Allowance and Benefits]</ref> If the mother consents, the father can use any unused maternity leave credit once the child has reached six months old.<ref>[https://www.globalization-partners.com/globalpedia/bulgaria-employer-of-record/ Bulgaria – Employer of Record]</ref><ref>[http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=1103&langId=en&intPageId=5037 Bulgaria - Maternity and paternity]</ref> | |||
