Risk during Breastfeeding
The Law on Effective Equality for Women and Men has created the benefit for risk during breastfeeding, within the protective action of the Social Security System, with the aim of protecting the health of female workers and their children during the breastfeeding period. In this way it provides coverage for cases where the female worker is required to change her job post to one that is compatible with her condition, because -in accordance with the Law on Occupational Risk Prevention- the conditions in which she works may have a negative effect on her health or that of her child, and such a change is not technically or objectively possible, or cannot be demanded due to justified reasons.

- AMOUNT: A benefit equivalent to 100% of the regulatory base for TD, arising from occupational contingencies.
