Maternity, Paternity and Parental Leave in Luxembourg: Your Rights Explained
Luxembourg parents have three distinct statutory leaves. Maternity leave is 20 weeks (8 before, 12 after the birth), paid by the CNS as a maternity allowance. Paternity or co-parent leave is 10 days, taken within two months of the birth. Parental leave gives each parent 4 or 6 months full-time (or part-time and split options), paid by the CAE as an income-replacement allowance. This guide explains the durations, amounts, application deadlines and job protection.
