‘It is known that, an employed woman who has recently given birth can go on maternity leave for 3 years. For the first half-year they receive AZN 20. Then in case of continuation of leave, they receive AZN 10. But according to new order of Azerbaijani President, maternity leave benefits for the first half-year have been increased up to AZN 30. This process requires AZN 4 mln extra funds within a year’, Muslumov noted.
This process will concern 43,000 employed women, who are on maternity leave.
