The European Commission has declared that the Estonian economy is surging ahead of most EU countries, even in the face of restrictive measures being put into place. The first quarter of 2021 showed a 4.8% q-o-q expansion and as long as exports continue to do well it will be difficult for other economic forces to slow down Estonia’s growth rate come the end of 2021. According to the Bank of Estonia, the country’s economy is recovering more quickly than expected from the crisis, and so additional fiscal stimulus should be avoided. This will help prevent some sectors from overheating as restrictions because of the pandemic are eased throughout this year. In 2019, Estonia ranked #18 in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index (Sources: European Commission, Bank of Estonia, and Invest in Estonia).

In case of sickness, the worker is entitled up to 182 calendar days of paid sick leave with a maximum of 250 days per year. The gross wage during this period is 70%of the last year’s average salary.

Female workers are entitled to 140 calendar days of pregnancy and maternity leave. The Health Insurance Fund pays maternity benefit (on the basis of a maternity leave certificate) to women who were working prior to going on pregnancy and maternity leave. The pregnancy and maternity leave may be taken 30-70 days before the date of birth (30th to 36th week of pregnancy). If a woman goes on pregnancy and maternity leave 30 days or more before the expected due date, she is paid the benefit for all 140 calendar days. If she goes on pregnancy and maternity leave later, those days are deducted from the 140 calendar days. The maternity benefit is paid starting from the first day of exemption from work. The HIF calculates the benefit for temporary incapacity for work based on the average income per calendar day earned by insured persons on the basis of the data on payment of social tax available from the Tax and Customs Board.
Working fathers are entitled to 30 calendar days of paternity leave.
