Brief retelling from RIA II

Women in Russia have the right to paid sick leave at any stage of pregnancy for an unlimited period of time.

Russian women can go on maternity leave starting from the 30th week of pregnancy, and in case of multiple pregnancy - from the 28th week.

According to Tatyana Butskaya, severe toxicosis in the first trimester is a sufficient reason to receive sick leave.

VLADIVOSTOK, September 5 - RIA Novosti. Women in Russia have the right to paid sick leave at any stage of pregnancy for an unlimited period of time, said Tatyana Butskaya, chairman of the Council of Mothers and State Duma deputy, in an interview with RIA Novosti at the EEF.

The parliamentarian recalled that Russian women can go on maternity leave starting from the 30th week of pregnancy, and in case of multiple pregnancy - from the 28th week.

“Despite the fact that you can leave the 30th week (of pregnancy - ed.), or the 28th in certain cases, you have the right to take paid sick leave for any amount of time that you need for health reasons, at any time and as many times as necessary,” Butskaya said.

In her opinion, severe toxicosis in the first trimester is a sufficient reason to get sick leave without waiting for the 30th week.
