Maternity leave entitlement A working woman shall be entitled for 45 days maternity leave with full pay to include the period before and after the delivery, provided she has served continuously for not less than one year. The maternity leave shall be granted with half pay if the woman has not completed one year. At the end of the maternity leave, a working woman has a right to extend her maternity leave for a maximum of 100 days without pay. This unpaid leave can be continuous or interrupted if the interruption is caused by illness which prevents her from coming to work. The illness must be confirmed by a certified government physician licensed by the competent health authority. Maternity leave in either of the above cases shall not be deducted from any other leave for which the woman employee is entitled. During the 18th months following the delivery, the working woman, who fosters her child has the right to have two daily intervals which do not exceed half an hour each for the purpose of nursing her child. Those two additional intervals shall be considered part of the working hours and no deduction in wages shall be made
