If you are about to have a child, or plan to become pregnant, it is normal to have a lot of questions about what your maternity leave will be like. The arrival of a child requires a lot of planning and structure, especially in the first months of life. The acquired right of temporary leave from work is guaranteed to INSS contributing mothers.
Previously, the benefit was paid by the employer, with a stipulated time of only 84 days. Advances in research on the importance of maternal and paternal contact for the child in the first months contributed to the revision of the CTL (Consolidation of Labor Laws). Since then, in 1988, the benefit has been paid by social security with an increase of 36 days, totaling 120 days.

But in these cases it is required that the woman has at least 10 months of contribution before the request is made.

For workers with a formal contract, the amount should be the same as your current salary plus an average of commissions, if any. For the other workers, a calculation is made that makes an average of the last 12 months, with a current minimum value of R$1,212.00, according to the national minimum.
