Bulgarian women on maternity leave who decide to return to work before their child turns 1 will be able to receive 50% of their maternity allowance. Bulgaria’s Ministry of Labor and Social Policy intends to propose such amendments to the Social Security Code, Bulgaria’s Minister of Labor and Social Policy Zornitsa Rusinova announced on Tuesday. Thus, the women who decide to return earlier to work will receive a 50% bonus to their salaries. The money will be paid by the National Social Security Institute until the child turns one. According to the proposal, all mothers wishing to go back to work can do so when their children turn 3 months. The main purpose of this social measure is to encourage the Bulgarian mothers to return to work earlier.
