One of our employees has applied for one day of carer’s leave to provide primary care for a grandchild, due to her daughter being in hospital for the birth of a second child. It’s not an unexpected emergency caesarean and the grandchild being cared for by the employee is not ill.
Is this scenario considered a “sudden or unexpected emergency” and thus carer’s leave is appropriate? Or can this be considered as babysitting for which annual leave is more appropriate?
