“nobody asked me questions during my maternity leave”
Yeah. Because it’s the fricking law both in Germany as well as Austria. Her boss would be in hot water. 1800€ fine per case (means per question) up to 3600€ for repeat offenders.
It does not change a thing if the mother offered it or not.
The Austrians are actually quite lenient with that.
German law gives fines up to 30.000€ and in cases that are seen as endangerment of the child up to one year of prison.
