Act 24/2001, of 27 December, on fiscal, administrative and social measures, amends article 222 of the combined text of the General Social Security Act, to provide that if a contract should terminate during maternity leave, the worker shall continue receiving the maternity benefit until it ends and shall then be legally unemployed and be entitled, provided the requirements are met, to unemployment benefits.
Si l'extinction de contrat se produit pendant la grossesse, le travailleur ou la travailleuse continue de percevoir la prestation correspondante jusqu'à l'accouchement, où il ou elle deviendra officiellement chômeur et percevra l'assurance chômage, si les conditions requises sont réunies.
