Payment of hospital care for a child

The situation with the temporary disability of the employee due to the need to care for the sick child is quite common. It is important to know what rights you have. The payment of a hospital care child is different from what can be obtained if the employee falls ill himself. There are certain restrictions associated with the time of payment, as well as the amount that is laid on such a sick list. Let's look at these moments.

The payment of the sick leave for the care of the child will be made to the mother, father or other close relatives of the child, if they work under the terms of the employment contract. In other cases, the employee does not have the right to such payments. If a person who is a relative does not care for the child, then the hospital sheet can not be given out to him, therefore, there will be no payment. Benefit can be paid only if the child's age is 0-15 years. If it is a mother who is on a sick-list with a child who has not reached the age of one and a half, the sick leave will not be paid to her. The calculation of the hospital care for the child is realized depending on the insurance period of the parent who is in charge of care, and also from the prescribed treatment.

The calculation is very important work experience. If it is more than eight years, the payment is made in 100% of the volume, if the length of service is within 5-8 years, the payment is 80%, up to five years - 60%. The seniority account is kept according to the available records in the work book. However, there is no difference, there were breaks in it or not. If it is an outpatient treatment, the person who cares for the child is paid depending on the length of the first 10 days, and from the 11th day the payment is made at 50% of the average salary. If it is a question of inpatient treatment, the payment is made depending on the length of service of the person who is taking care of. The payment of sick leave for the child is carried out with a restriction on the length of stay on the sick leave sheet. If care is carried out for a child under 7 years, then a maximum of 60 days per year will be paid, for no more than 45 days for 7-15 years. 120 days a year can give for caring for a disabled child. For children with complications after a prophylactic vaccination or for HIV-infected patients, the entire period is paid.

If the term of the hospital exceeds the one specified in the legislation, the employer has the right to count the days of exceeding for absenteeism, which can lead to dismissal. In such a situation with the payment of sickness sheets, it is necessary to distribute the terms of care between several relatives. It is necessary for those families where children often get sick and need care.

The payment of a hospital care for a child is fully implemented if quarantine is declared in the kindergarten. The relevant law says that if a child under the age of 7 who is attending a specialized preschool is subject to quarantine , the benefit will be paid to the insured person for the whole period of quarantine. In this situation, the size of the allowance should be established by the general rule, that is, within 10 days, and from the 11th to the half. In cases where a child was infected not in a preschool institution, but at home with a nanny or in a mini-kindergarten, this rule does not apply.

Parents of children who are sick often and many can protect themselves, not only distributing caring for the child between relatives. The payment of a sick leave sheet for the care of a child over the limit can be prescribed in a collective agreement or in a specific employment contract as an addition to the social package. Extra days in this case are paid from the wage fund.

Now you know how payments are made for the hospital child care, and also what nuances can be encountered.
