PSLE leave: For or Against?

[Nebbermind]

Yalor. if I read correctly, they are not getting more days of leave. rather, they can bring forward some of the previous yr’s leave so that they can use it during the PSLE year.

Is it?

I still thought it's additional leave...
Chey.... :faint:

Perhaps 政府 can consider child care leave till 12 years old?

:?

Yes, they should seriously consider this.... My company voluntarily extend it till 12 and I feel that it makes absolute sense... You have different set of requirements when kids are in primary school. eg. meet the teachers, preparation for exams, etc.... Govt should seriously consider that why only up to 6????

Actually I think Sec Sch kids also need that - need to see teachers, take care of them when they are sick, have parent-child bonding…teens need lots of parental attention too!

My employer offers extended childcare leave too. For those with kids below age 7, it's the standard 6 days we all know about. For kids from 7 to 12, my employer is offering 5 days per kid, for up to 3 kids. In this extended 5 days childcare leave, 2 of which are to be supported by mc or medical appt letter. I think it is nice of the employer. Give up to 3 kids, shows it's support for govt's drive to get Singaporeans to have more kids.

The threshold is based on the youngest child's age.

But my company does offer dependent sick leave (which applies to my parents too). Like our usual medical leave so that is a good gesture as well.

Hope to see my companies exercising such gesture.

I am not sure what to vote for as what do the parents do when their kids are revising or the purpose of the leave is to address their questions or work out the answers? 15 Days is quite alot......


I do agree on extending the CCL to 12 years or above , still in shock on the number of closure days for Primary level compared to Childcare. NTUC and MCYS [soon to be Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF)]. & MOM are keeping so silent about it.

Don't see what is there to be for or against.


This is one company's initiative. And as mentioned, not that the company is giving additional leave but allowing staff to carryover their annual leave to the following year if their child is taking PSLE then. And it is applicable to staff who have been working with them 5yrs and over. After working 5yrs, you will have a minimum of 18 days annual leave, the company allows staff to carry over 1/2 their annual leave to the following year but they need to clear them by June. The good thing I guess is, this will mean parents will have some leave left to go for holidays after their kids' PSLE. :razz:
