New permits for conciliation and care and other news:
What are the main novelties incorporated in the new Family Law? We tell you everything you need to know:
New permissions:
1) Paid leave of five days a year:
For the care of cohabitants with or without a relationship, or relatives up to the second degree of consanguinity (grandparents, grandchildren or siblings).
Until now, only a two-day leave was contemplated for death or serious illness of a family member. It may be used in the event of an accident or serious illness, hospitalization or surgical intervention without hospitalization that requires rest.
2) 8 weeks parental leave until the minor is 8 years old:
It can be enjoyed continuously or discontinuously and part-time or full-time and will not be paid.
Parental leave will be applied progressively and thus, in the year 2023 it will be six weeks and eight weeks in 2024. This will be helpful for families, for example in non-school periods or during the adaptation in infant schools from 0 to 3 years.
3) Leave for absence due to family force majeure:
Permission 4 days paid per year and can be enjoyed by the hour.
Other new features:
a) Extension of the benefit of 100 euros per month for mothers with sons and daughters under 3 years of age, which are currently received exclusively by working women. It is extended to women who receive a contributory unemployment benefit or not, or have worked for at least 30 days since the birth of the baby. Inactive women and those who receive the IMV childhood supplement will be left out of this benefit.
They will also receive 100% of the benefit women who have part-time or temporary employment.
The subsidy for birth and non-contributory care will be extended to adopters and foster families.
b) Extensions: The orphan's pension will be extended by one year, up to 26, and the leave to care for a minor with cancer or serious illness, up to 26 years in case of disability.
c) New families with greater needs for parenting support.
The protection that large families benefit from is extended to others such as single-parent families and single-parent families with two or more children. Some of these measures have to do with the educational field (facilities to receive a scholarship or the reduction or exemption of fees and public prices) and with public transport, with discounts ranging from 20% to 50%.
Those families that are temporarily in a situation of single parenthood or single parenthood because one of the two parents is hospitalized for more than a year or remains in prison, or because only one of them has guard and custody, will be entitled to these same benefits.
In addition to large families other diverse families are protected such as families with two children where an ascendant or descendant has a disability; families with two children headed by a victim of gender violence or by a spouse who has obtained sole custody and custody without the right to maintenance; and families with two children in which one parent is undergoing hospital treatment for one year.
Families that until now were considered numerous in the general category, such as those with four children, instead of five as up to now; families with three children in case of multiple births, instead of four as at present, and families with three children and low income (up to 150% of the IPREM).
d) Common-law couples: Regarding the recognition of the different types of families, the law advances in the equalization of rights between married couples and common-law couples, since the latter will have access to 15 days of leave for registration comparable to marriage.
