With the birth of a child, the way of life of the family changes radically. Typically, the father continues to work and the mother takes parental leave. Rarely, but it also happens vice versa - fathers also have the right to payments due in connection with the birth of a baby.
Instructions
Step 1
There can be many reasons why a father takes parental leave. For example, it is beneficial for the family budget or such a break will have a bad effect on the mother's career, or, finally, if the father is the only parent for the baby. According to article 256 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a father or other relatives who are actually caring for a child are entitled to parental leave.
Step 2
To obtain the right to such leave, contact the head of your organization, and provide the following documents: - an application for granting you parental leave up to three years old; - an application for the appointment and payment of child support; - a copy of the child's birth certificate; - certificate from the mother's place of work or study that she does not receive childcare benefits.
Step 3
In addition, if you do not work, you can apply for an allowance to the social protection authorities at your place of residence and provide the following documents: - work record book; - passport; - copy of the child's birth certificate; - certificate from the employment center about non-receipt of benefits unemployment; - a certificate from the place of work or study of the mother that she does not receive childcare benefits.
Step 4
In addition, if you or the child's mother are self-employed, lawyers, notaries, or other private practice, contact the Social Security Fund and get a certificate of non-receipt of parental allowance.
Step 5
If the mother was on parental leave, but for some reason cannot continue caring for the baby, it is necessary that she write an application to interrupt the leave. And you contact your place of work to receive and apply for benefits and parental leave.
