As of 1 Jan 2021, employees in Switzerland can take paid leave if they care for family members or life partners who have a health impairment — under changes to the Swiss Code of Obligations. A further leave entitlement for parents of a sick child is slated to take effect on 1 Jul 2021.
From 1 Jul 2021, parents will be entitled to 14 weeks of leave calculated over an 18-month period to care for a seriously ill or injured child. The leave is paid as a daily allowance and payment is capped at CHF 196 per day.
