Geneva's parental allowance scheme cannot yet be implemented as planned
Geneva's parental allowance scheme cannot yet be implemented as…
On 18 June 2023, the Geneva voters approved the principle of an 8-weeks parental leave financed equally by employers and employees.
For the time being, however, the canton of Geneva cannot introduce this insurance for the other parent because the planned financing arrangements are not compatible with federal law. However, the Federal Council is proposing a revision of the federal law, which should enable the cantons to introduce parental insurance for the other parent in the near future.
