What Is The Difference Between Childcare Leave And Extended Childcare Leave?
Working parents face a tricky balancing act between work and childcare. Knowing about regular and extended childcare leave can help ease the burden. This blog post explores the differences between the two and empowers parents to make informed decisions.
Difference between childcare leave and extended childcare leave?
Regular childcare leave is a provision that allows parents to take up to six days of leave per year specifically to address their children’s care needs. This leave can be used for various purposes, such as attending doctor’s appointments, caring for a sick child, or participating in school events.
On the other hand, extended childcare leave is an additional benefit that allows parents to take up to six more days of leave per year on top of the regular childcare leave. However, eligibility for extended childcare leave is often tied to the child’s age, with specific age limits varying across different employers or jurisdictions.
