Hello there,

For maternity leave, you are entitled to a total of 26 weeks, which can be taken as 13 weeks before and 13 weeks after the pregnancy or all 26 weeks after the delivery. However, for the second maternity leave, the duration may be reduced. Please refer to the maternity benefits on the ESI website for more information.
