Hungary expands family leave entitlements
The Hungarian government recently passed significant employment legislation to introduce parental and carer’s leave entitlements, double the number of paternity leave days and introduce a right to request flexible work arrangements. The legislation brings Hungary into alignment with the European Union Directive No. 2019/1158 on work-life balance for parents and carers.
The amendments to the Hungarian Labor Code provisions entered into effect on 1 January 2023.
