Finally, the law modified article 1 of law No. 19,987, establishing the new values for the family and maternal allowances.
3) Law No. 20,764 that modifies the Labor Code in matters related to protection of motherhood, fatherhood, family life and establishes a permit in the case of marriage of the employee.
This law was published in the Official Gazette on July 18th, 2014. It substitutes the present name of the Title II of the Labor Code which from now on shall read: “Of the protection of maternity, paternity and family life”.
This law also incorporates a new article 207 bis to the Labor Code establishing the right to a paid leave of five working days additional to the annual holiday (vacations) to every employee that gets married.
This permit must be granted without regard to the amount of time the employee has been rendering services to the employer, and to all employees, even to those that render services from their homes.
The employee may choose when to make use of such benefit, which may take place before or after the wedding.
To make use of this permit, the employee shall inform the employer 30 days in advance and shall submit a wedding certificate issued by the Civil Registry within 30 days as of the celebration of the wedding.
Finally, this law contemplates that the marriage permit that the employer has agreed to before this law, whether individually or collectively, can be “set off” against this statutory permit so that the application of this new law results in no duplication of the benefit.
