Teachers at primary and secondary schools, special schools, schools for the sick and vocational schools (excluding FOS/BOS) can apply for parental leave to be counted as a period of service.
This form can be submitted electronically without signature (e.g. via a secure contact form or by e-mail) or in paper form to the responsible authority.
The period of service is the waiting period required for promotion. Time off to bring up children can also be taken into account as a period of service. As a result of a change in the law, for all children born from 01.01.2011 onwards, the number of eligible child-raising periods per child increases from 24 to 36 months.
Due to a transitional regulation, child-raising periods of up to 36 months per child can also be taken into account as periods of service for all children born before January 1, 2011. However, these children can only be taken into account upon application and only with effect for the future. The additional period of service is therefore only taken into account for future promotions.
