VAB – sick child leave/temporary parental leave
VAB, the temporary parental leave benefit is used when the child is ill or when the regular caregiver is ill or otherwise unable to care for the child. The benefit may be transferred to another person, in case neither of the parents can take the time off, for instance gainfully employed grandparents or another person.
Note: If the regular caretaker is ill, this must be verified with a doctor’s certificate from the eighth day of illness.
