Paid parental leave; what is the amount your employee is entitled to?

23 May 2023 - It will be possible for parents to take paid parental leave from 2 August 2022 onwards. However, this leave must be taken before the child reaches the age of one year. Both parents are entitled to nine times the working hours per week. If an employee has a contract of 24 hours per week, the employee is entitled to 9 x 24 hours = 216 hours of paid parental leave. The employer applies for the benefit from the UWV on behalf of the employee.
