Cases of temporary disability of an employee due to caring for a sick child is a common situation. The payment for sick leave for childcare differs from that when the employee was sick himself. Restrictions on the time of payment and on the amount due for sick leave have been introduced.
Instructions
Step 1
Sick leave for child care has the right to take the mother, father of the child or other close relatives, if they work under an employment contract. Under other types of contracts, employees are not entitled to sick leave payment. If a person who is not a relative is involved in caring for a child, then the sick leave cannot be issued to this person.
Step 2
The allowance is paid for the care of a child between the ages of 0 and 15, inclusive. If a mother is on parental leave before he reaches one and a half years, then the sick leave issued to her is not paid.
Step 3
The amount of the benefit paid depends on the length of service of the caregiver and the treatment given to the child.
Step 4
With work experience of 8 years or more, 100% of the average earnings are paid. From 5 to 8 years old - 80%. Up to 5 years old - 60%. The length of service is considered for all entries in the work book, and it does not matter whether there were breaks in it or not. For outpatient treatment of a child, the caregiver is paid for the first 10 calendar days, depending on the length of service, starting from day 11 - 50% of the average earnings. In case of inpatient treatment - depending on the length of service of the carer.
Step 5
Also, restrictions have been introduced on the length of time a possible stay on sick leave for childcare has been introduced. When caring for a child of 7 years old, no more than 60 calendar days a year are paid. Only for diseases listed by the Ministry of Health and Social Development - 90 days per calendar year.
Step 6
When caring for a child from 7 to 15 years old, you can take no more than 45 calendar days a year and no more than 15 calendar days for one sick leave.
Step 7
When caring for a disabled child under 15, you may be given 120 calendar days for the entire calendar year.
Step 8
If a child is HIV-positive or has complications from preventive vaccination, then the entire period of care for the treatment of this child is covered.
Step 9
If the specified deadlines are exceeded, the sick leave is considered invalid, and the employer has the right to give you absenteeism and fire you for it.
Step 10
In this situation, the payment of sick leaves for child care, distribute the terms of care among all relatives. This is especially necessary if your child is often sick for a long time and needs to be cared for.
