Summary/Abstract: The right to maternity leave, paternity leave and parental leave is regulated in Council Directive 92/85/EEC of 19 October 1992 and Directive (EU) 2019/1158 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019. The Member States of the European Union, in accordance with their national law, collective agreements or established practice, determine the rules for the implementation of the directives, provided that the minimum requirements and objectives set out in them are met. The comparative legal analysis of the duration of maternity, paternity and parental leave, as well as the way they are used in the Member States, allows for the adoption of established good practices. On this basis, proposals are made for the improvement of Bulgarian labor legislation in this area.
