Care of a sick child

As a parent, you are entitled to take time off work to temporarily care for a sick child. This form of leave is normally available until the child has turned 12.

Notify your immediate manager and Försäkringskassan when you need to go on leave to care for a sick child. You can also register your absence i Primula and call the switchboard to notify them of you going on leave.

You can also take leave to care for a sick child when the child’s regular carer is ill.
