Orientation in a complex legal situation
Pregnancy is exciting enough in itself, but expectant mothers and fathers have to think about a whole host of other things: When do I inform my employer, when do I tell my colleagues? Do I need to plan my parental leave now? And how can I actually divide the responsibilities with my partner? The legal situation is sometimes complex, and the options are numerous.
Individual timeline with dates and deadlines

The new tool uses an interactive timeline to show which applications can and must be submitted and when. Divided into six sections, from the beginning of pregnancy to the child's eighth birthday, the topics for each period are clearly presented. For example, in Phase 1, users learn what measures employers must take to protect pregnant women, how they are financially protected in the event of a work prohibition, and what the dismissal protection is for expectant mothers during a probationary period.
Lots to do
Once the baby arrives, parents face a mountain of paperwork. To ensure that family time after the birth isn't neglected, we've created a checklist outlining which documents can be prepared in advance. We also provide the necessary links to the relevant authorities and application forms.
