Parental leave to take care of a sick child

As of July 1, 2021, you can benefit from up to 14 weeks of paid leave.

This new law allows parents who have to interrupt or reduce their gainful activity to take care of a child with serious health problems to take a 14-week leave. This leave is compensated by the system of allowances for loss of earnings (APG) and can be shared between the two parents.

You will find more information on the website of the Federal Office for Social Security.
