Care Leave
What is Care Leave?
In short: if your close relative(s) fall ill or the person caring for a child is absent, you can take care leave
this includes your child / your spouse / your grandparents etc. who may need you
it is not the same as our “normal” special leave
it is also not the same as your sick leave
as in case you need more than 3 days in a row, you’d need a doctor’s receipt, which you likely won’t get since you are not the one who is sick (unless you know people ).
How does it work?
you are able to take Care Leave any time it is needed
on weekly, daily or hourly basis
Care Leave is paid, and you get an allowance of 1 week* per year.
*If you work part-time it’s less. So, for example, if you work 20 hours/week, you are entitled to 20 hours of Care Leave per year; if you work 37.5 hours/week, your entitlement to Care Leave is 37.5 hours per year, etc.
In addition, there is a second week of care leave within a working year (again to the extent of your weekly working hours) if the child is not yet 12 years old, falls ill again and requires care and you are not entitled to continued payment of wages for other important reasons
If you need more allowance for any reason, you can ask your Team Lead who may approve Special Leave depending on the circumstances.
Requesting Care Leave
