European elections: common rules and national provisions

Voters in the EU will elect new Members of the European Parliament during the European elections of 23 to 26 May. The newly elected Members, representing EU citizens until 2024, will meet in July to elect their President, Vice-Presidents and Quaestors. They will decide on the composition of Parliament's standing and sub committees - thereby launching the new legislative term. The committees will then hold their first meetings to elect their respective Chairs and Vice-Chairs.

Work-life balance: new leave rules for family care

11-04-2019 - 09:53

The European Parliament has adopted new rules to allow parents and carers to better reconcile their work and family lives. More adaptable working conditions and family and care-related leave would help working parents and carers balance private and professional interests and avoid the need to choose between family and career. They form part of the EU's social policies to improve people's lives and well-being.

Main elements of the new rules

The legislation would set new or higher minimum standards for parental and carers' leave. Fathers would be entitled to at least 10 working days' paternity leave, paid at least at the level of sick pay. This would also apply to equivalent second parents, where recognised by national laws. People would have the right to at least four months of parental leave, of which two months are non-transferable and paid. The level of compensation would be set by EU countries. Workers looking after seriously ill or dependent relatives could claim five days of carers' leave a year. In addition parents and carers would benefit from improved rights to request flexible working arrangements, for example flexible or reduced working hours.
