Congratulations!

We are delighted that Mercer's family is growing! We hope this will be a special time for you.

Below you will find some important information.

Formalities

Inform your Manager and the HRS team that you have given birth.

Applications for maternity and parental leave and other necessary documents will be sent to your private email address by the HRS team. After completing the documents, send scans to Poland.Admin@mmc.com, and the originals to the HRS team by postal mail (MMC Group Services Sp. z o.o., Prosta 68, 00-838 Warsaw, with the note "HRS").

As your maternity leave approaches its end, contact your manager about your return-to-work date so you can plan a smooth transition back to your duties. During these discussions, confirm whether you plan to take vacation immediately after your parental leave and in what amount. Your manager will inform HRS about your planned return date.

During maternity and parental leave, the maternity allowance is 100% of your salary for the first 20 weeks, then 70%. However, if you declare in advance that you will stay with your child for the entire year after birth, you will receive 81.5% of the allowance for the entire duration of your maternity and parental leave.

Since April 26, 2023, an amendment to the Labor Code has introduced important changes for parents, mainly fathers. This includes an additional 9 weeks of leave that cannot be transferred to the mother. During this time, the allowance is generally 70%.

If you need more information, please contact the HRS team.

Additional Information

If you want to extend your medical package to include a new family member, write to the Prosper team or make changes directly on the Prosper platform.
