Common use of Single parents Clause in Contracts

Single parents. For the purposes of this agreement, a person who lives in permanent separation from their married or common law spouse and with whom their children live, and a person whose spouse is prevented from taking part in childcare due to military service or reserve training are considered single parents. In the event that a child’s illness recurs within 30 days, the days referred to in section 2 on which the employer is required to pay sick pay are added together. For the purposes of this agreement, two or more children of the same family falling ill in sequence with an interval of less than 30 days is not considered a recurrence of an illness. Moreover, the consequent illnesses of an employee and child do not constitute a case of recurrence as referred to in this agreement. The short temporary absence referred to in this agreement means the paid absence of a maximum of four working days in the calendar period. The duration of the absence must always be assessed on a case by case basis, taking into consideration, for example, the possibility of arranging care and the type of illness. Hence, the agreement does not automatically entitle to paid absence. When an absence is longer than the above- mentioned absence, no compensation is paid. However, it is natural that a sick child cannot always be left alone if the child's illness lasts longer than the period for which compensation is paid. If both parents work shifts for the same employer and their shifts are consecutive, the parent at home is reserved the opportunity to care for a child that has unexpectedly fallen ill without loss of pay, until the other parent returns home from work. The length of such paid absence is the time taken to travel to and from work.
