Résumé/Citation: | Under this new Act, both male and female employees are eligible for leave to look after a child in its first year. Employees applying for and taking child-care leave are protected against dismissal, and their employers are required to take such measures as will enable them to resume their employment smoothly at the end of their leave entitlement, with Government assistance if necessary. Alternatively, employers should grant facilities, such as reduced hours of work, to eligible employees who do not choose to take child-care leave. The Ministry of Labour will be issuing more specific guidelines to be applied by employers in such cases. The Act does not apply to Government employees, whose status in regard to child-care leave is to be regulated by the appropriate ministries. |
