Employees should be able to also take time off for their elderly’s first sick day

At the moment, you can take a free day on your child’s first sick day. DF proposed expanding that measure to also include grandparents. 

• Today, you are entitled to five free days per year you can take in connection with taking care of a sick child, parents or spouse. However, you are not guaranteed to be paid for those days (compared with the child’s first sick day for which you are paid).
