In South Africa, Family Responsibility Leave is a provision under the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) that allows eligible employees to take up to three days of paid leave per year for specific family-related reasons.
Here are the key points:
1. Eligibility:
– You must have worked for the same employer for more than four months.
– You must work more than four days per week for the same employer.
2. Reasons for Leave:
– When your child is born.
– When your child is sick.
– In the event of the death of your spouse or life partner, parent, adoptive parent, grandparent, child, adopted child, grandchild, or sibling.
3. Proof:
– Employers may require reasonable proof of the birth, illness, or death for which the leave is requested.
4. Limitations:
– This leave is over and above annual and sick leave.
– It expires at the end of each annual leave cycle (12 months from the date of employment).
