At the request of a woman or persons who actually take care of a child, during their stay on leave to care for a child, they may work part-time or at home (Part 8, Article 179 of the Labor Code).

The legislation does not specify where a woman on maternity leave should work part-time: in the main position or in a part-time position.

Therefore, during maternity leave, a woman has the right to go to work and work part-time (0.5 or 0.75 rates), including part-time, and this will not affect her maternity leave and social benefits.
