Benefits and Leave in Myanmar​

Casual leave

Earned Leave

Medical leave

Maternity and Paternity Leave

Under the Leave and Holidays Act, employees are entitled to 14 weeks of paid maternity leave, to be taken 6 weeks before confinement and 8 weeks after confinement. 

Employees covered by the Social Security Law are entitled to similar 14 weeks of maternity leave but may further enjoy additional 4 weeks in case of twins or up to 6 weeks in case of a miscarriage. Theoretically, employees covered by the Social Security Law may receive part of their salary from the Social Security Fund, but in practice, such maternity leave is often also granted as paid leave. 

Male employees covered by the Social Security law may enjoy 15 days of paternity leave after confinement of their wives.
