Starting from the 20th of next month, you can use 'short-term childcare leave' for one or two weeks at a time if you need care for your child due to vacation, illness, etc. This is separate from existing childcare leave and can be used once a year, with 80~100% of your salary being paid. In addition, starting from the 18th of next month, male workers will also be able to apply for childcare leave during their spouse's pregnancy. Other changes include an expansion of maternity leave before and after childbirth for male workers, and the establishment of a system that allows them to take leave in case of miscarriage or stillbirth of their spouse.
