# How do I handle parental leave?

There are two types of parental leave situations:

### 1. Full-time parental leave:

* End the current employment contract without doing the exit declaration
* The employee will be paid directly by the Zukunftskeess during this period

When the employee returns:

* They will be automatically re-registered with the CCSS by the Zukunftskeess
* Their contract can simply be renewed on our platform

### 2. Part-time parental leave:

Add a new work schedule:

* Click on the employee that needs the schedule update
* Navigate to the "Contracts" tab
* Locate the active contract and click on the 3 vertical dots (⋮) next to it
* Select "+ Work Schedule" from the dropdown menu
* Fill in all required fields for the new schedule
* Click "Create" to save the new work schedule

The employee continues working part-time while receiving partial payment from Zukunftskeess.
