If you’re a mother or father in Germany and you’ve wondered what your rights are with regards to the workplace and an ill child, here’s what you need to know. Every employee is entitled to leave of absence if their child is ill - up to a maximum of ten working days per child in the calendar year. For a single parent, a maximum of 50 working days can be taken off due to sick children. Photo: DPADo I still get paid while caring for my sick child? If I’ve run out of sick days for my kids, can I call in sick myself?
