The remaining three weeks of parental leave may be taken either by the mother or by the father of the child. All of the 16-weeks’ leave must be taken within 52 weeks after the child's birth. Unless otherwise agreed, 3 weeks’ notice shall be given of the 16 weeks’ parental leave The leave of each parent may be split into no more than two parts, unless otherwise agreed.

If the reimbursement is lower, payment to the em- ployee will be reduced proportionally. The same rules apply for adoptive parents.
