Wat is Carer's Leave? | HR-woordenlijst | BambooHR
Time off that allows an employee to provide care for a person in need of significant support.
Carer's leave enables an employee to step away from work to care for someone who needs ongoing support due to illness, disability or age. It acknowledges the growing number of people juggling work with caring responsibilities.
Depending on the jurisdiction and policy, this leave may be paid, unpaid or a mix, and may run for short periods or extended blocks.
Supportive carer's policies improve retention, particularly among experienced staff who might otherwise leave the workforce, and reflect a genuinely inclusive culture.
