Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- This bill aims to make it possible to take adoption leave and foster care leave part-time, namely half-time, by one-fifth, or by one-tenth.
- The proposal applies to employees, civil servants, and self-employed workers who adopt or welcome a foster child into their home on a long-term basis.
- You would no longer have to stop working full-time completely, making it easier to balance your job and child care over a longer period.
