Work-life balance needs improvements. Issues with carers and parental leaves
17.01.2024
The conditions for using care leave (due to serious medical reasons) are so similar to the force majeure leave (due to accident or illness), that the separation of them probably only follows from the editing of paragraphs of Directive 2019/1158, In addition, the possibility to use the carer leave only for a family member from the same household makes this leave unattainable for many employees. This in turn raises questions about the correct implementation of the directive standards. – Sławomir Paruch and Agata Ankersztajn comment for Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.
