Change of automatic renewal in case of maternity
From now on, the distribution of maternity allowance to basic funds will be equated with the procedure for third-party funding. Previously, in the case of maternity, the employment of a deputy was calculated without points. Now the Institute will be compensated for the employment of the mother in personnel points, regardless of whether a deputy is employed or not.
