Documentation of post-miscarriage maternity support: Evidence could be required

Gotten a bad break? You're not alone! Germany's Maternity Protection Act has been updated as of June 1, 2025. Here's an easy-peasy guide on claiming maternity protection after a miscarriage:

  1. Break the News: Hate to say it, but you gotta tell your employer about the miscarriage. Yep, it's a bummer, but it's crucial to kickstart the maternity protection process.
  2. Duration of Leave: The duration of your time off depends on the week of pregnancy when the miscarriage occurred:
  3. 13–16 weeks: Get ready for a two-week chill.
  4. 17–19 weeks: Enjoy a cozy six-week break.
  5. 20–23 weeks: Settle in for an eight-week rest4[6].
  6. Make It Official:Submit a request for maternity leave to your boss, complete with all the deets of your miscarriage and the leave duration you're entitled to.
  7. Employer Obligations: From now on, your employer has to provide the mandatory maternity leave. They can't dismiss you during the protected period and must safeguard your job upon your return4[6].
  8. Medical Backup: Already got a doc's note? Great! Show it off! No doc's note? No worries! The law doesn't require you to have one4.
  9. State of Affairs: Understand your legal rights. This is all part of the deal after Germany's Maternity Protection Act got an update4[6].
  10. Consultation Corner: If things get tricky, don't hesitate to chat with HR or a legal advisor about your entitlements.

Keep these steps in mind, and you'll cruise through claiming maternity protection like a boss!
