Care
Press the pause button – when you need to.
Not only children need care. At some point, parents, grandparents or other close relatives may need it too – perhaps only temporarily.
Information
Conditions
A leave of absence can be taken to care for the following family members: parents, grandparents, parents-in-law, spouse/cohabitant, life partner, siblings, children, step children and grandchildren. A medical certificate or other evidence of the person’s need for care is also required.
Without delay or bureaucracy
You can also request a leave of absence at short notice and are not required to adhere to application deadlines. Get in touch with your HR department. Together we’ll find a solution without delay or bureaucracy. A leave of absence for care always starts on the first of the month. You can find further information about taking a leave of absence in the leaflets in Downloads.
