- Wife earns more. When a person goes on maternity leave, they are paid 40% of the average salary over the last two years. If the wife gets moreThe loss of its 60% will be more tangible, so that it is more profitable to stay at work, and her husband - on maternity leave.
- At work, her husband threatened with dismissal or wage cuts. In this case it is better to maintain a stable 40% of salary, than to lose the money completely. And if you turn up the good work, a decree will be to terminate or renew the mother.

- None of the relatives had not taken maternity leave and receive benefits in social protection, if he is unemployed. This rule has an exception: if the mother is on maternity leave from the first child was born and the second husband also can issue a decree. Or if the twins were born, you can go on holiday together: mother fix for one child, and the Pope - after another.
