Employees will be entitled to an unpaid, job-protected leave of absence of up to eight weeks to care for a family member with a serious medical condition. Unpaid job-protected leaves for parents caring for a critically ill child (of up to 37 weeks) or coping with the tragedy of a crime-related death (up to 104 weeks) or disappearance of a child (up to 52 weeks) will also come into force.
