Eligibility for social security maternity benefits depends on the commitment to contribute for at least four months including 30 days before the leave. For male employees, they are entitled to 120 days paternity leave in case within the 120 days of birth the mother is unable to take care of the newborn due to physical or mental in capacity or in case the mother loses a life. The leave is 60 days less than the period already taken by the mother but not less than 30 days if the mother dies.
