Illness doesn\u2019t discriminate based on age or circumstances when deciding whether to visit your home. And honestly, who hasn\u2019t been there\u2014kids get sick very easily. Or maybe the entire preschool is in quarantine. Grandma is still working and can\u2019t take time off, and the same goes for your husband, who\u2019s even away on a business trip. Maybe a babysitter could help, but you don\u2019t actually have one in the family. So, as always, it falls on Mom. It\u2019s perfectly clear that under these circumstances, you can\u2019t go to work. Don\u2019t panic\u2014you\u2019re fully entitled to sick leave benefits under the law. You must report this to your employer, but you should have no trouble getting time off, and the government will grant you a benefit calculated exactly the same way as sick pay. So you\u2019ll be at home for the same pay as if you were sick yourself.What are the conditions? 1. For example, caring for a sick family member\u2014this could even be a grandmother\u2014but the condition is that you must live in the same household. If any of them has a permanent residence elsewhere, you are not entitled to the caregiver\u2019s allowance. 2. Necessary care for a child under the age of ten\u2014in this case, the parent who will care for the child is entitled to the allowance, even if they live somewhere else entirely. Who is eligible for this benefit? 1. Only regular employees ; if you work under a contract or from home, you are not eligible for sick leave benefits. 2. If you work for the Czech Police or are a career soldier, you are unfortunately not eligible for this benefit either. 3. Self-employed individuals\u2014in short, business owners\u2014are not eligible for this benefit, even if they pay into the insurance system.How many days are you entitled to? Thebenefit period is only nine days. However, if you are caring for a child on your own, without a partner, and the child is of school age and under 16, you can receive benefits for up to 16 calendar days. The key point is that if you get sick, you are not entitled to anything for the first three days and are essentially taking sick leave without pay. However, this does not apply if your child is sick. In that case, you receive benefits starting from the first day.
