Decibels rose high, when a couple of ten mother and baby to meet in the same room to catch up. Running is every week for the baby-morning play park in Line with the Helsinki.
Many of this baby a group of mothers is not heard, that the maternity allowance reform early next year. It is not in itself a miracle, because they receive maternity allowance under the old system, which considers income in a fairly distant past.
the Future of maternity allowance is determined by the lähemmältä period of time, i.e. maternity leave during the preceding 12 months. In practice, the maternity allowance is based on even more during pregnancy make income.
One of the baby-morning mammoista is a helsinki Elina laiho hill , who is on maternity leave the financial sector permanent jobs. He likes the reform is to be welcomed, although it is not her day money to its effect.
She went on maternity leave in December 2018, but her maternity money is determined by the year 2016 on the basis of income.
– from My point of view this is a very good change. This reform could have come earlier, said laiho hill.
