MILANO – It is strengthened from this year on parental leave, i.e. the optional leave that follows the mandatory maternity and paternity period. The Budget Law has in fact raised the allowance for two months to 80% of the salary, while for 2025 the second month the amount will drop to 60%. An application circular provides the details of the measure Inps.
Another seven months, in addition to the two above, are compensated at 30%, regardless of the income situation, as provided for by the law up to now. The remaining periods of parental leave, up to the limit of 10 or 11 months (if the working father exercises the right to abstain from work for a continuous or divided period of no less than three months) are not compensated, unless the parent concerned has an individual income less than 2.5 times the amount of the minimum pension paid by the compulsory general insurance. In the latter case they are eligible for compensation at 30% of their salary.

The increase in the amount
In the circular with which it gives instructions on the measure, the INPS explains that the increase in the allowance concerns exclusively employees while all other categories of self-employed workers, registered with separate management, etc. are excluded). The rule “does not add a further month of compensated parental leave, but provides for the increase of the allowance to 60% of the salary (80% for the year 2024 only) for a further month of the three due to each parent and not transferable to the other”.
The regulatory provision of the 2024 Budget Law concerns exclusively parents who end (even for just one day) their maternity leave or, alternatively, paternity leave after 31 December 2023. All parents who have concluded their leave are therefore excluded. use of maternity or paternity leave on 31 December 2023. This is not a condition for the right to increase the parental leave allowance for a further month, but rather an initial deadline for the new provision to take effect.
