Abstract
Launched by the Jospin government on the 1st of January 2002, this 11 successive day's break (18 in case of multiple births) has been added to the 3 already entitled days since then by the labor law. It is open to every father namely wage-earners, independent workers, farming workers, civil servants or even fathers fulfilling the role in the 4 months following the birth of a child.
The indemnity amounts to 100% of the gross income, in the limit of the security social ceiling (2352€ in 2002). The maximum amount of the day indemnity is consequently of 78.4€ gross, i.e. 62.88€ after deducting the social contributions. The calculation of this indemnity is the same as for the maternity leave. It is financed by the national child benefit office. In 2002 it cost 180 million euros.
The father shall inform his employer of the date and the duration of his leave one month before the chosen date. The employer has no right to forbid the employee to take his leave, neither the right to change the dates chosen by the employee.
