Africa-Press – Mauritius. The Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Development, Dr Renganaden Padayachy, during his presentation of the Budget 2023-2024, this evening, affirmed that giving families greater flexibility in managing work and care is yet another important priority of the Government.
In this context, a new stand-alone leave of five days for workers who have experienced a pregnancy loss is being introduced in order to support working parents, as they recover, both physically and emotionally, from a tragic moment in their life.
Moreover, the Minister highlighted that an employee currently has the possibility to use up to ten days of sick leaves to take care of children with healthcare-related issues.
This measure, he pointed out, is being extended to enable the parent to use all his or her sick leaves to take care of his or her child. Furthermore, employees will be able to use up to 10 days of sick leave to take care of their parents and grandparents with healthcare-related issues, Dr Padayachy indicated.
