Maternity Leave Case: Official Category Worker (Cluster 8)

A worker in the official category (cluster 8) is pregnant. Her suspension period begins on October 13th due to the inability to continue in her position or a similar one because of risk during the contribution base for pregnancy. The professional contingencies during April (without overtime) were 1,680. Last year, 970 hours of overtime were recorded.
