Claims under the Care Time Act and the Family Care Time Act
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzWith the family care period, you have the opportunity to reduce your working time to up to 15 hours per week for a maximum of 24 months in order to care for a close relative in a home environment in need of care.
You are only entitled to family care time if your employer has at least 26 employees (those employed in vocational training are not counted). Family care time is only granted to you if your/your relative has at least 1 care level.
Employment contract arrangements for family care time:
- You must enter into a written agreement with your employer on working time and the distribution of hours.
- Your employer can only object to your wishes for working time for urgent operational reasons.
- A change in the fixed working hours during the current family care period is only possible if your employer agrees.
You can apply for an interest-free loan to cushion the income path.
