Bulgaria expands family leave entitlements
The Bulgarian government recently amended its Labour Code to extend paternity leave entitlements and introduce a right to flexible work arrangements for parents of young children and carers. The amendments align Bulgaria with the European Union Directive No. 2019/1158 on work-life balance for parents and carers.
The amendments were published in the State Gazette and became effective on 1 August 2022.
