Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Sick Pay (Absence Due to a Child's Illness) Law of 1993 by adding a new section. The section states that an employee whose child was born premature and was hospitalized is entitled to charge up to 30 days of absence per year to their accumulated sick days or to the vacation days due to them, at their choice. In the case of a single parent or under certain conditions, the entitlement is up to 60 days of absence per year. In calculating days of absence in the future, days of absence already charged in connection with the child's hospitalization will be taken into account.
