SAP: Time off after birth - SAP doesn't want to give partners weeks off after the birth of a child. Europe's largest software company announced in September last year that it would give fathers or partners of mothers six weeks of paid leave.

The exemption should begin in 2024, it was initially said. At the beginning of the year, SAP surprisingly backtracked and pointed to the federal government, which had not yet implemented legal plans for a partner sabbatical, a spokesman explained.
