You can take birth leave on the occasion of the birth of your child.

You can also take this leave if you live with the mother of the child.

You can take this leave no matter what you are official or contract.

Birth leave is for you automatically granted if you do demand to your employer administration.

Your request must include the dates of leave.

Your application must be accompanied by one of the following documents:

• A copy of the certificate issued by the doctor or midwife following the mother's pregnancy. The certificate attests to the state of pregnancy and specifies the presumed date of delivery
• Any document proving the birth of the child

If you're not the child's father, you must also include with your application any document justifying your living with the mother.

The duration of leave shall be 3 working days.

Multiple births (twins, triplets...) do not extend the duration of the leave.

The 3-day leave may be cumulated with the paternity and childcare leave.

You need to take this continuous leave from the day of the birth of the child or from 1^er next working day.

You receive your remuneration in full.
