Return to work after a family phase
An early return to work after parental leave is often emphasized as beneficial for companies, employees and the economy. It assumes a compatibility of family and work , for example a partnership-based division of the care tasks in the family, suitable childcare , a suitable organizational culture on the part of the employer and, if necessary, the opportunity to combine breastfeeding and work . A study by the Hessenstiftung - Family Has a Future from 2008 points to the importance of childcare, further training and contact with the company during parental leave. According to Directive 96/34 / EC (Paragraph 2, Item 5), following parental leave, there is a right to return to the previous job in European social law or, if this is not possible, to be assigned to an employment contract or employment relationship that is equivalent or similar Job. This requirement is implemented differently in some member states. In practice, degradation or subtle exclusion after returning from parental leave is often reported. In addition, employees who initially resume work part-time and voluntarily accept an activity at a lower hierarchical level - for example because the employer announced that this is the only way to work part-time - will sometimes be able to return later to the hierarchical level that was before the start of the Part-time employment corresponds to the activity exercised. According to the judgment of the Federal Labor Court in Erfurt, this practice is not permitted.
Especially after a long absence from the labor market, for example in a family phase, returning to work is an individual process that can take several years. This process can be described in three phases: the first orientation before returning to work, the specific return to work and the consolidation of the new situation after returning to work. Across Germany there is a growing range of advisory services that support and guide those returning to work in the various phases of their return to work.
