However, the duration and compensation of parental leave may vary from place to place. A woman who is going to be a mother of a child must take parental leave to better care of the child who is going to arrive in this world.

What is the Meaning of a Parental Leave?

Parental leave is a policy that allows the parents (mother and father) to take some time off from their official or professional work and take care of their children. One may avail the parental leave either in case of a medical emergency or just to provide the essential support that a child needs. People can also utilise parental leave for the birth or adoption of a child

Importance of parental Leave

Let us discuss the significance of parental leave.

  1. Work-Life Balance

    The parental leaves help people to balance their work and personal lives. It provides the opportunity to have some freedom to care for their children. People do not need to worry about their job security during the parental leave. An employer cannot fire his employee during the parent's leave. If the employer does so, the employee may approach the court to take appropriate measures.

  2. Health Care

    Parental leave reduces stress and allows the parents to focus on the needs of the family. This is beneficial for both the physical and mental health of an individual. The parental leave also contributes to create a supportive environment and evades the dilemma of prioritising the work which an employee may face during office hours.

  3. Employee Retention

    As stated above, parental leave does not take away the job of an employee. In addition, it offers paid leave to every employee as per the rules laid down in the job agreement. Companies also offer parental leave to retain their best employees. This is another way to show support towards the employees who work for the growth and development of the company. It becomes important for every company to support their employees during childbirth, adoption etc.

  4. Boding and Attachment

    Parental leave allows the employee to spend some time with the newborn baby in order to foster a strong bond and attachment. A woman may not create this bond in absence of the parental leave. That is why parental leave is important in order to make the child learn who is his mother and father.

  5. Physical and Emotional Recovery

    Parental leave helps the mother to recover from the child's birth. Women may not be well after giving birth to a child. She might need some rest to start again with her job. Therefore, the parent leave is important for physical and emotional well-being.

  6. Increase Parental Involvement

    The parents help bring the parents and children closer. The work-life increases the gap between the parents and children. At the same time, parental leave reduces such gaps and brings them together. It has a positive impact on emotional and social development in children.

Parental Leave vs. Maternity Leave

The terms given in the title may confuse people in order to differentiate between parental leave and maternity leave.

Let us discuss the difference between the two.

Maternity leave is specifically designed for women. Only a women employee may take maternity leave and get paid for the same. People generally take this kind of leave during childbirth. In contrast, parental leave is available for both men and women. Both may take this leave to subserve their relationship with their child and family.

Conclusion

Parental leave is essential for working parents to establish a healthy bond with their children and family. It helps people to balance their work life and take care of their health. In addition, it also helps people to increase their involvement with their children.
