Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

A number of choices determine how the form is completed and the consequences of the leave. Review these questions in advance.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Is the paid portion being applied for via UWV? The first 9 weeks are partially paid if admitted during the child's first year of life; the choice determines the timing and payroll administration.
How is the leave spread out? Full-time in a continuous period or spread over several months; spreading affects the schedule, substitution, and payroll calculation.
How does leave affect secondary conditions? Specify what happens to pension accrual, vacation days, and any bonus schemes during the unpaid part.
Does a collective labor agreement or company regulation apply? A collective labour agreement may contain more favourable terms than the statutory regulations; check whether additional rights apply.
Has the application deadline been met? In principle, the employee requests the leave two months before the desired start date; this determines whether the employer can honor the schedule.
Clauses and provisions

Which sections belong on a parental leave form?

A usable parental leave form contains all the information that the employer, employee, and UWV need to assess and correctly process the application. Below are the sections that you must include in any case.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Employee details At the top of the form Name, position, and personnel number, so that the application can be uniquely linked to the employment.
Child(ren) details At the core of the application Name and date of birth; the leave entitlement applies until the child turns eight, so age determines eligibility.
Desired leave period During planning Start date and end date, so that the distribution and total number of leave hours are fixed.
Number of leave hours During planning The total entitlement is in principle 26 weeks based on the weekly working hours; state the number of hours per week or per period.
Spread and working days During planning On which days or parts of days the leave is taken, so that the impact on the schedule is clear.
Paid part (UWV) Regarding the reimbursement The first 9 weeks are partially paid via UWV provided they are taken within the child's first year of life; indicate whether a claim is being made for this.
Agreements on salary and accrual Under the terms and conditions Establish how the unpaid portion affects salary, pension, and holiday accrual to prevent future disputes.
Date and signature At the bottom of the form The employee's signature and the employer's confirmation make the agreement verifiable and enforceable.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

The form only works properly if it is deployed at the right time and in full. Follow these steps.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
When planning leave The employee fully completes the desired period, hours, and distribution This enables the employer to assess the application in a timely and substantive manner.
At least two months in advance Submit to the employer within the statutory period The employer may only change the time on the grounds of compelling business interests, not refuse.
Upon receipt by employer Confirm in writing or request an adjustment of the time with justification A written response prevents ambiguity regarding the start date and scope.
During and after the leave Keep with the personnel file and process in the payroll administration The form serves as proof of the agreements made and the hours recorded.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

With parental leave, things often go wrong on the same points. Avoid these mistakes with a complete form.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Agreeing verbally without a form Subsequent discussion regarding start date, hours, and salary Always record the application and confirmation in writing.
Withdraw paid portion late Loss of the UWV benefit for the 9 paid weeks Plan the paid portion within the child's first year of life.
Ignore application deadline The employer cannot honor the desired start date Submit at least two months in advance.
Do not arrange for impact on pension and vacation Unexpected consequences for accrual and payment Explicitly define the consequences for secondary conditions.
Overlooking collective labor agreement rights Employee misses out on more favorable or additional rights Check the collective labor agreement or company regulations before filling out the form.
Risk profile

What is your situation and what do you pay attention to?

Depending on your situation, the focus points regarding parental leave vary. Recognize your situation below.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
Employee with a young child Application for regular parental leave until the child turns eight Pay attention to the timely application and the timing of the paid part.
Employer with tight staffing Leave request conflicts with staff schedule You can only change the time based on compelling business interests, not refuse the application.
Part-time worker The extent of the leave entitlement depends on the weekly working hours Calculate the hours based on the actual contract, not on a full-time standard.
Multiple children or twins There is an independent right to leave per child Fill in a separate application or line for each child and monitor the individual deadlines.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

Sometimes the situation calls for more than just a leave form. In these cases, additional documents or advice are required.

Situation Supplementary document Why
The full employment relationship has not yet been formally established in writing Employment contract Leave arrangements work best when the basic terms of employment are clearly defined.
The employee is active through a DGA structure or management Management Agreement Different rules apply to a management or board relationship than to a regular employment contract.
A conflict arises regarding leave or remuneration Legal assistance In the event of a dispute regarding refusal, wages, or accrual, a legal assessment of your specific situation is advisable.
Explanation of this document

Filling out a parental leave form, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what parental leave forms are, when they are needed, and which risks they must cover. That is why we explain below what this document entails, what to look out for, and why customized legal advice is important.

What is a parental leave form?
A parental leave form is the document used by an employee to submit their request for parental leave in writing to the employer. Pursuant to the Work and Care Act (WAZO), an employee must notify the employer in writing of their parental leave no later than two months before the desired start date. The form contains the details of the child for whom the leave is being taken, the number of leave hours and the desired distribution over the workweek, the intended start date, and the application for the first nine weeks of paid parental leave via the UWV. The form serves as an official written request that establishes the statutory notification period and acts as proof of the time of notification, which is important for the employer's response time. Our lawyers draft a legally correct parental leave form for employers that contains all legally required information, correctly incorporates the reflection periods for the employer, and aligns with the organization's leave policy.
What information must the form contain?
A complete parental leave form contains at least the following information: The name and date of birth of the child for whom the leave is being taken — the right to parental leave is tied to a child under the age of eight. The total number of leave hours being taken. The intended start and end dates of the leave. The desired distribution of leave hours over the workweek: does the employee wish to work fewer hours each day, or take specific full days off? An indication of whether the employee is entitled to the first nine weeks of paid parental leave via the UWV, and if so, during which period. A statement that the employee understands that the employer may modify the leave in the event of compelling business interests and that they will receive notice of this no later than four weeks after notification. And space for the date and signature of the employee. Our lawyers draft a form that contains all legally required elements.
How does the paid parental leave scheme through the UWV work?
As of August 2, 2022, parents of children under one year of age are entitled to nine weeks of paid parental leave equivalent to 70% of the daily wage, funded by the UWV. The remaining seventeen weeks of the total parental leave entitlement (twenty-six weeks) remain unpaid. The paid parental leave must be taken during the child's first year of life and cannot be spread over a longer period. The employee applies for the benefit from the UWV using the form submitted via the employer. The parental leave form must specify whether the employee wishes to make use of the paid scheme, for which period, and in which staggered pattern. The employer retains their role as an intermediary in the UWV application. Our lawyers ensure that your form aligns with the UWV application procedure.
What are the employer's obligations after receiving the form?
Upon receipt of the parental leave form, the employer has a number of statutory obligations. The most crucial is the four-week rule: the employer must respond no later than four weeks after notification if they wish to change the distribution of the leave on the grounds of compelling business interests. If the employer fails to respond within four weeks, the leave applies as requested by the employee, and the employer can no longer unilaterally change the distribution. The form must remind the employer of this deadline. In addition to responding to the leave request, the employer must also process the UWV application for the paid portion in a timely manner. Our lawyers draft a form and accompanying procedural note that guide the employer through all steps following receipt.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
Our lawyers draft a parental leave form for your organization that contains all legally required information, aligns with the UWV application procedure for paid parental leave, and includes an accompanying manual for HR regarding response times and the procedure for changing leave. We also ensure alignment with your leave policy and employment conditions regulations.
Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document

Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks

No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
