Leave to care for a child under 3 years: who is given what the amount of benefits, when it is possible to use

We will understand what is included in the concept of "leave to care for a child up to 3 years." It includes two periods: from birth to one and a half years and from one and a half to the execution of the age of three years. This division often entails the idea that these are two different holidays. In fact, this is not so. All three years and make a full leave to care for a child up to 3 years. But still there is a difference between the two periods. It consists that while the kid is not leveled one and a half year, his mother is paid monetary compensation, which makes up 40 percent of her average for the calendar day of earnings. The benefit is calculated as follows. It is necessary to calculate the amount of income for two consecutive calendar years and divide it by 730. The average daily income of the employee will be obtained. Accordingly, the monthly benefit is a product of the average daily income and the number of days in a month. This amount should not be less than 2453, 93 rubles, if there is one child in the family, and 4907, 85 rubles if there are two or more children in the family. The maximum amount of social benefits at the same time is 1335, 62 rubles. This period is called "paid leave to care for a child under 3 years." At the expiration of a year and a half, the FSS ceases to pay benefits. After that, the employee is only able to receive compensation from the employer in the amount of fifty rubles a month. This benefit up to 3 years ceases to accrue from the month following when the child reached this age.

Also, benefits are discontinued in the following cases:

• Exit on a full working day before the end of vacation;
• When the employee is dismissed at his own request;
• With deprivation of parental rights.

The full list is established by the Labor Code.

It should be noted that the right to receive leave is not only the mother, but also grandparents or guardians, if they are caring for a young child. So, for example, often such an opportunity is used by single fathers or men whose wives do not want to interrupt their careers. To complete the leave, they must present the documents confirming the birth of the child, the application for leave and the certificate from the principal, the last employer of the spouse, that she does not use leave to take care of a child under 3 years of age. This right is extended not only to own children, but also to adopted children.

Use of vacation is possible in any necessary period, until the child is three years old, in full or in part.

If the vacation is decided to end before the age of one and a half years, the payment of the cash benefit ceases from the moment of coming to work. However, caring for the child, it is possible to continue to perform their duties part-time or work from home. In this case, the employee is paid a salary corresponding to the work performed, and the right to receive the old benefit also remains.

If the employee works all the day, he, in addition to the lunch break, also has several half-hour breaks for feeding the child. According to the doctor, this time can be increased to an hour. To terminate the leave to care for a child under 3 years is possible at any time without warning the employer in advance. The employee must be reinstated in his former position, or, with his consent, transferred to a new job, but with the preservation of wages.
