Parental Leave/Paternity Month

Parental leave and paternity month can have an impact on existing company bike leasing contracts. This article explains what options are available and how coverage through the employer default insurance works.

Parental Leave (including Maternity Protection)

1. Notification by the Employer
   • The insured event must be reported via the employer default insurance (AGAV) in the Bikeleasing portal.
2. Two options are available:
   • Bike Return:
     The company bike is returned early and the leasing contract is terminated.
   • Leasing Rate Reimbursement:
     For the duration of the parental leave (max. 18 months), the leasing rates are reimbursed, and the contract remains in force.
     After the 18-month period, the contract must be continued as usual.
3. Observe Deadlines
   • The notification should be made immediately after the start of parental leave.

Paternity Month

• The paternity month is not parental leave, but a legally regulated leave of absence with protection against dismissal.
• It is not considered an insured event and is therefore not covered by the employer default insurance.
