An employee may take family responsibility leave when:
- the employee’s child is sick / died or
- if the employee’s spouse or life partner dies, or
- if the employee’s parent, adoptive parent, grandparent, child, adoptive child, grandchild or sibling dies.
Proof is required before allowing family responsibility leave, i.e., a doctor’s letter.
The family responsibility leave cycle is 12 months long and starts in the month the employee is employed. The family responsibility leave cycle recurs, which means that a new cycle starts at the end of each 12-month cycle.
An employee is not entitled to family responsibility leave in the first 4 months of employment.
An employee must get 3 days leave.
