Principles
- The supplemental maternity insurance provides daily maternity benefits in addition to the federal maternity insurance.
-
It improves the statutory maternity leave benefits in three areas:
- de-compartmentalisation of maximum insurable earnings up to CHF 250,000 (instead of CHF 88,200)
- increase in the share of insured income up to 100% of salary (instead of 80%)
- term of maternity leave: extension of leave by two, four or six weeks (in addition to the statutory 14 weeks)
