The cabinet today cleared “childcare leave” of two years for female government employees.
The leave can be taken till a child turns 18 years. This is different from maternity leave. The employees will get their full salary during this period.
“The leave can be availed of before a child attains the age of 18. We have cleared this proposal and it will benefit women employed by the state government,” industries minister Partha Chatterjee said at Writers’ Buildings.
According to government sources, the leave can be taken at one go or in phases. Each phase can’t be less than 15 days.
The Union government had introduced the facility in 2008. At present, state government employees are entitled to four months of maternity leave.
