Self-employed agricultural workers, artist authors, vocational training trainees, health professions, salaried managers, public administration contract workers, non-full-time civil servants are also concerned by this system. working less than 28 hours as well as childminders or child minders at home
As for employees in the private sector, both parents must be unable to telework.
The age of the child is also a criterion since the latter must be less than 16 years old on the day of the start of the judgment.
However, there is no age limit for a child with a disability.
Finally, parents must keep proof of the closing of the class which must be communicated to the Health Insurance in the event of an inspection.
Again, this device applies from the first day of stoppage of work and at the latest until the end of the period of isolation.
It is also specified that the shutdown can be declared for a period corresponding to the closure of the establishment without being able to exceed 21 days.
Special leave of absence for officials
When they cannot work, officials affected by class closures are placed on special leave of absence (ASA) and are compensated at 100%.
As for employees in the private sector, they must provide proof from the establishment attesting that the child cannot be accommodated and a certificate on the honor that the parent is the only one of the two requesting to benefit from an ASA for the days concerned.
