Important information about the new parental leave in Liechtenstein
The Principality of Liechtenstein introduced parental leave on January 1, 2026. Under certain conditions, each parent is entitled to four months of parental leave, two months of which are paid. The parental leave may be taken in one continuous stretch or flexibly. Taking parental leave has an impact on occupational benefits insurance.
During paid parental leave, insurance covering the risks of disability and death is maintained. This means that the family is taken care of. The retirement savings process is suspended.
During unpaid parental leave and maternity leave (five months), insurance in Pillar 2 is made contribution-free unless otherwise specified.
This means that
- the risks of death and disability are no longer covered during this time. In an emergency, there is no protection from occupational benefits insurance.
- No savings contributions are levied. This means that the expected retirement benefits are reduced.
Employees have the option of taking out voluntary insurance to cover these risks. You can find out more about the option of continuing your occupational benefits coverage in our information sheet on parental leave.
