(Title) findings, concerning the problems that occur in the conditions and procedure for licensing child-rearing to public officials, sent by the Ombudsman to the Minister of Home Affairs, after examining a large number of complaints.
The complaints mainly concerned the refusal of the nine-month child-care leave to fathers pay employees whose spouses are either freelance or not work. Other issues raised in the Ombudsman was an indicative figure, the denial of public services to grant parental leave to fathers, relying on official business, the timing of the license, there can be no split for the nine-month leave, shorter duration, when an official appointed for the first time has a child under the age of four years.
As the independent authority on its findings, “the exclusion of the father from allowing Employee raising a child, when his wife did not work, constitutes direct discrimination on grounds of sex contrary to provisions of Law 3488/2006 for the implementation of the principle of equal treatment between men and women in employment and occupation. Added, and that “for the same reasons, direct discrimination based on sex, recommended limiting the right to leave his father raising staff for the duration” contract of his wife “».
also noted that “limiting the duration of the leave-raising event in which the spouse works part-time, a restriction on the right, which is indirect sex discrimination in conjunction with the family” .
The principle states that “it is statistically proven that more number of women than men work part-time, resulting in an apparently neutral provision to affect results in more men – fathers than women – mothers, servants, spouse with part-time. Therefore, this circular should be redrafted ».
In addition, the Ombudsman notes that” there is a gap in the collar Code as to the date of commencement of parenting a child, if it has Father officer whose husband is a freelancer and is entitled to maternity leave (pregnancy-birth). To fill this gap, the Ombudsman recommends that the Circular of the Ministry of Interior that in this case the nine permit may commence immediately after birth and not after the three-month maternity leave, they receive only the female employees.
The principle states that “have been several problems in the process of authorization raising children, such as delays in informing the concerned departments of the Interior Ministry and the handling of requests of officials of the agencies’ and states that” addressing these problems requires better information to stakeholders on how to exercise their rights, faster service to applicants and regular updating of public services ».
