In a landmark move, Abu Dhabi has extended maternity leave for certain private sector employees to ninety days, aligning more closely with public sector benefits. This extension reflects the emirate's commitment to supporting working mothers and promoting family-friendly policies.
After the female employee resumes, she is entitled to two hours of daily leave for the first year after delivery to nurse her child. Male employees are entitled to three days' paternity leave.
Previously, female employees in the private sector were entitled to forty-five days of maternity leave. The new regulation doubles this period, offering full pay for the entire duration. This change aims to provide better work-life balance and support for new mothers during the crucial postpartum period.
Female employees must have completed at least one year of continuous service with their current employer to qualify for the extended maternity leave.
The leave consists of ninety days and includes fully paid days off, allowing new mothers time to recover and bond with their newborns.
Employers are mandated to secure the employee’s position during her absence, ensuring that women can return to their previous roles without detriment to career progression.
The response from the business community has been mixed, with many employers expressing support for the initiative while also voicing concerns about potential operational challenges. Some companies are evaluating strategies to manage the extended absences, including hiring temporary staff or redistributing workloads among existing employees.
Research indicates that longer maternity leave can significantly improve the health and well-being of both mothers and their children. The extended leave period allows mothers to establish breastfeeding routines, recover from childbirth and better manage postpartum mental health.
