In terms of parental leave, the 2024 Budget Law has extended what was previously introduced in 2023, so that a total of 9 months of paid leave (or up to 11, for certain income cases) is available to the parents as follows:
- 1 month at 80% for children up to age 6, alternatively between the parents
- 1 month at 60% for children up to age 6, alternatively between the parents (for 2024 at 80%)
- 30% for the remaining period used
The rule applies to those who finish their mandatory leave after 31/12/2023.
The social security institute (INPS) still has to issue a circular detailing how this will be implemented in practice
