Council workers who suffer a miscarriage will be offered two weeks paid leave after Midlothian councillors doubled the initial number of days off proposed.
Calls for employees and their partners to be given time off were put before a virtual meeting this week along with moves to provide couples going through IVF treatment paid leave for each cycle.
However initial proposals to offer five days leave to workers and their partners in the event of a miscarriage were doubled after one councillor said more time was needed.
