Paid leave for select federal government during COVID-19
Married employees who have children below the age of 16, or who have children of determination, or whose spouses are under isolation or quarantine or whose spouses work in vital health-related occupations and employees of quarantine centres are eligible for paid leave during the time when massive preventive measures are being applied to contain the spread of COVID-19.
Note: The above was implemented during the early phase of pandemic (in 2020) and was slowly phased out as the situation returned to normalcy.
