The state has proposed to reduce next year the compensation for the first three days of sick leave, paid by the employer, from 70 to 50% of the normal wage. Money for mothers will be raised next year - from the current 170 euros to a level of 190 euros.
These parameters are written in the draft state budget for the sector of social security. The document is due to be reviewed by the National Social Security Institute.
