According to this law the benefit criteria from the maternity leave haven&#8217;t changed, considering as a benefit condition, the obligation to have a 12 month period of insurance for every maternity leave. The base on which the benefit is calculated has undergone dilutive changes.<p><\/p>\n<p>The maximum duration of maternity leave in the Republic of Albania is 365 days and during this period the woman takes maternity leave benefits based on her employment status. In calculating the amount of benefit legal changes have introduced the concept of net salary as an accounting concept, versus the concept and term recognized from the Labor Law which is salary. The salary, or the gross salary according to the accounting concept, is the reward of the employee for the contracted work. From the gross salary is deducted 9.5 percent of the salary as part of social security that belongs to the employee; 1.7 percent of the salary as part of health insurance paid from the employee; also the income tax is deducted from the salary which varies according to the amount of salary. <\/p>\n<p>What remains constitutes what is known in accounting as the net salary, and is the part of the salary that the employee receives net. Net salary is always lower than the gross salary. The difference between them, depending on the salary is from minus 11.2 percent for non-taxable salaries to minus 34.2 percent for salaries taxed at the rate of twenty-three percent. Below it is estimated the value of the net salary per gross salary from 30 to 150 thousand ALL, as the difference in value between them.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"627\" height=\"371\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1DIaRcrP50TEWKbTK0fDECINUSMFn_tMwucJ8iKq0lv0\/pubchart?oid=1036966864&amp;format=interactive\"><\/iframe><br><sup>Source: Law No. 104 dated 31.07.2014 On Changes and Additions to the Law No. 7703, dated 11.05.1993, &#8220;On Social Insurance in Albania; ISI&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>Comments and Analysis: Open Data Albania&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/sup>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Starting from January 1, 2015 the income for employed women will be for the first six months of maternity leave: a) 80% of the average daily net estimated basis of the twelve last months from the date of the right for payment for the prenatal period, to 150 calendar days after birth.
