Definition
Carer's leave, introduced by Law no. 283/2022, grants employees the right to take five working days in a calendar year. This leave is specifically designated for providing personal care or support to a relative (as defined by law, e.g., child, parent, spouse) or an individual residing in the same household as the employee, who requires care due to a serious medical condition. This provision aims to support work-life balance and acknowledge employees' caregiving responsibilities.
