Expansion of child care leave and family care
leave: The rules for temporary workers to
become eligible for 'child care' leave will be relaxed.
Under the new rules, where workers are employed by the same
employer for a continuous period of at least one year, such workers
will be eligible for child care leave. However, if it is obvious
that their employment contracts will expire before their children
become one and half years old, they cannot take child care
leave.
Similarly, for 'family care' leave; under the new rules
where workers are employed by the same employer for a continuous
period of at least one year, such workers will be eligible for
family care leave. However, if it is obvious that their employment
contracts will expire before six months after the date on which 93
days (the maximum days for family care leave) elapse from the
starting date of the contemplated family care leave, they cannot
take family care leave.
