The big news fell this Friday, September 3 and it has something to reassure a large number of people. The government has said parents, vaccinated or unvaccinated, could be compensated if they have to keep their sick child with covid-19.
The end of the holidays has come. Since Thursday, September 2, the schoolchildren have taken over the management of the school benches. Like the previous year, this new school year is punctuated by the covid-19 pandemic. Despite the measures taken by the government and the establishment of a health pass in a large number of public places, the virus continues to spread at breakneck speed. The Delta variant is mainly the cause. This 2021-2022 school year is therefore at the heart of concerns, especially for parents of students. If a child is positive for covid-19, attending primary school or kindergarten, his class must be closed for a period of seven days, according to the health protocol in place. The problem of childcare then arises since parents will indeed have to organize themselves to keep their little one at home. And if many questions burned the lips of employees, the government has lifted the veil on this shadow on the board. Following numerous challenges, the rule has been changed slightly. Thus, whether the parents are vaccinated or not, they can be compensated up to 90% of their gross remuneration, if they have to be absent to keep their sick child.
Harmonization of compensation
This Friday, September 3, the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Integration shared a press release to clarify this problematic situation and restored harmonization at the level of vaccinated and non-vaccinated people. “From today, the parent of a child declared COVID + will be able to benefit from derogatory daily allowances, without waiting period, with an employer supplement, and whether or not he is vaccinated.“, he indicated, before continuing with a precision of size:”This compensation is open to only one of the two parents of the household, when he cannot telework.. “

This new measure announced by the government takes effect immediately and will therefore relieve many parents. The Health Insurance will contact directly the parents who are concerned by this compensation and will issue them a work stoppage, as well as the daily allowances. Within a month, employees who have had to be absent during these seven days will be able to declare themselves on the declare.ameli.fr teleservice.
