How to earn extra money on maternity leave

Maternity leave and its benefits are intended to allow the mother to concentrate on looking after herself and her child, so you cannot take the benefit and continue working. However, is it possible to earn extra money?

You must not do the same job as before maternity leave

If you don’t want to lose your maternity pay, be careful when working for your current employer. You can only contract with them for a different job. For example, an accountant will be able to take on a contract for ‘administrative work’ but must not do the work of an accountant again, even if it is part-time.

Consent for another company

You can take the same job with another employer, but the original employer must give you written consent. However, this restriction does not apply to scientific, teaching, journalistic, literary or artistic activities.

Entrepreneurship on maternity leave

If you were running a business and paying for your health insurance before you went on maternity leave, you cannot continue to run the business personally. The only possible solution is to find an employee.

However, if the business was only a sideline to employment, maternity leave will not affect this and so you can continue it without any restrictions.

Parental leave

There are far fewer restrictions on parental leave. You can carry on any gainful activity quite freely. You can join your previous employer or find other employment.

You don’t have to give notice to quit the job you are holding and plan to return to after your parental leave.

The only thing you need to make sure you don’t lose your parental allowance is proper supervision of your child. Just make arrangements with the grandparents, arrange a nanny or use a day nursery. However, children under the age of two can spend a maximum of 46 hours a month in a nursery or kindergarten.

Reviews of the Dostupný advokát service

before 3 years

I am giving both the website and service provided my very highest rating. Dostupný advokát found a hidden risk in my contract for the transfer of an apartment, which would have cost me tons of money.

before 3 years

I work as a self-employed craftsman and I know my field very well. Unexpected events happen, however, and I sometimes have to deal with problems where I need quality legal advice. I don’t like calling legal offices, getting sucked into discussions with terms I don’t understand. Dostupnyadvokat.cz is different. My first time, they replied immediately (zobrazit více) and together we created a contract custom tailored to my exact needs. I continue to be very happy with both their work and their price.

before 3 years

I decided to withdraw from my operating lease prematurely and was charged a ridiculously high penalty, apparently because the car had been sold for a significantly lower price than its market value. I found it frustrating, so I turned to Dostupný advokát for help. They got to work on the case very fast and recommended (zobrazit více) several options on how to proceed. They also helped me prepare all necessary documentation. Thanks to them, I had to pay only a fraction of the original amount and saved tens of thousands of Crowns.
