Since 2005, women have been entitled to 14 weeks' maternity leave in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations as well as a maternity benefit pursuant to the Erwerbsersatzgesetz - EOG (Income Replacement Act).

They receive 80 percent of their average earned income before the birth for a period of 14 weeks, but no more than CHF 196.00 a day.

This calculation only provides a general overview of the benefits and does not constitute any legal claim against compensation office Arbeitgeber Basel.
