Application to Reduce Working Hours

 

During the period you are entitled to parental leave, you have the right to reduce your working hours by up to 50%. The application must be submitted at least 21 days before starting work at reduced hours.

If you are breastfeeding, you are entitled to two 30-minute breaks included in your working time. If you are breastfeeding more than one child, you are entitled to two 45-minute breaks. Only women working at least 4 hours a day can use breastfeeding breaks. Breaks can be combined into one longer break. If you decide to come to the office and breastfeed, remember that you can use the nursing mothers' room located on the ground floor of the building. The key is at the building's reception. If you plan to use these additional breaks, inform your supervisor and submit the appropriate application.

 

Remote Work

 

In our organization, most teams work in a hybrid mode, although some roles require constant office presence (e.g., certain roles in the Property & Admin team). Detailed rules for remote work are in our Remote Work Regulations. The amount of remote work you can do should be agreed upon directly with your manager.

Once the extent of your remote work is established with your manager, submit a ticket to HRS (HRservices@mmc.com) and inform them of your supervisor’s consent for remote work, along with the address from which you will work remotely on the days you work from home.

 

Care Days - Days Off for Taking Care of a Healthy Child Under 14

 

Working parents of a child under 14 years old are entitled to two paid days off per calendar year to take care of the child. These can be used as full days or hours. The number of children does not affect the amount of time off, it is always two days or 16 hours. One parent can use the full entitlement or both parents can split it equally – in this case, each parent submits a separate declaration to their employer.
