What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Sick Pay (Absence Due to Child's Illness) Law of 1993 to add provisions for employees whose children were born with a health condition requiring hospitalization. An employee whose child was hospitalized will be able to charge up to 30 days of absence a year to their accumulated sick days or vacation days, at their choice. In certain cases, such as a single parent or one whose child is in their exclusive custody, the entitlement reaches up to 60 days a year. The days of absence related to hospitalization will be included in the calculation of the total legal days of absence.
