Pro-rated childcare leave

New employees

An employee entitled to 6 annual days may have the first year pro-rated by completed service months, subject to a minimum of 2 days after qualifying. The separate 2-day Employment Act entitlement cannot be pro-rated.

Leaving during a year

After at least 3 months’ total service before departure, pro-rate the resignation/termination year using completed months in that year. MOM’s example: an employee already qualifying leaves on 15 March 2015; January and February count, yielding 2 days.
