Paid parental leave is granted to a woman or a close relative until the child reaches the age of one and a half years. Under article 256 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a woman can take additional unpaid leave until the child reaches three years of age. All other vacations are established by a collective agreement or by agreement with the employer.
