Although children may have adjusted to being back in school after the summer break, many employees may still be trying to balance employment responsibilities with family obligations. Not to worry, help is just a request away.
State government has a program to assist employees.
It's called Child Involvement Leave . Child Involvement Leave is to promote employees' involvement in the education of children in registered child care facilities, elementary, middle or high schools. It can be used to meet with teachers or administrators, to attend non-athletic programs and to get involved in school approved volunteer activities. This program is not just for parents who are responsible for school age children. Any full-time permanent, probationary or trainee employee may take up to eight hours of paid Child Involvement Leave each calendar year.
