What is parental leave?
The parental leave is a leave during which you can shrink or cease your professional activity to take care of a dependent, sick, injured or disabled child, who needs your sustained presence and compelling care.
Who can benefit from parental leave?
The parental leave can be granted to one or other of the child's two official parents.
How to request parental leave?
You must send a written request to your employer administration, at least 15 days before the start of the leave (or before the end of your current leave in case of renewal applications).
Please note
In the event of a sudden deterioration of your child's health or in a crisis situation requiring your immediate presence, this 15-day period does not apply.
Your request for leave must be accompanied by a medical certificate which attests to the seriousness of your child's illness, accident or disability, to compelling care and to your necessary sustained presence.
This certificate is prepared by the doctor who follows your child and specifies the expected duration of treatment.
How long is the parental leave?
Initial Leave

At the end of this period laid down in the medical certificate, or in the event of a relapse or recurrence of the same disease, the leave may be extended or reopened for a new period, on presentation of a new medical certificate, within the limit of 310 working days and 36 months.
The 36-month period shall be counted from the date of commencement of the leave entitlement.
In case of new pathology, one new leave of 310 days may be granted, without waiting for the end of the 36 months.
