In the presented article, we deal with the issue of work-life balance after the transposition of DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/1158 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 20 June 2019 on work-life balance for parents and carers into the Slovak legal order. In their publishing activities, the authors have been dealing with gender equality and the impact of European legal measures on the legal order of the Slovak Republic. The aforementioned directive was inspired by the Swedish parental leave system as well as the gender-equal approach to employees, but it must be noted that its adoption into the Slovak legal system was not without problems and the result is less than ideal. Through an analysis of the current law and comparison, the authors come up with their own considerations that would contribute to increasing the level of gender equality in the Slovak Republic and raise the status of working parents to at least the level of the European average.
