In 2026, the amounts of maternity and childcare benefits have been revised. Employers should correctly rebuild their HR records to avoid errors in calculations.
1. What changed in benefit amounts
Both lump-sum and monthly payments have increased. The calculation is tied to the current base amount at the date of the event.
2. Lump-sum birth benefit
The amount of the childbirth payment has been updated. Eligibility and the amount are fixed at the moment of application.
3. Monthly benefits
Monthly childcare benefits have been revised. Employers should apply the new coefficients when preparing payroll.
4. HR records under the new rules
Local acts, orders and payroll documents must be updated. Errors in paperwork directly affect the payable amounts.
5. Common employer mistakes
The most frequent are an incorrect calculation date, an incomplete document package and failure to notify the employee of due payments on time.
Accurate HR records protect both the employee and the company. We advise on structuring payments and bringing documents in line with the new rules.
