Sick leave for caring for the 15th child. Sick leave for child care: payment, calculation, accrual. For how long will the doctor issue sick leave? days

A sick leave certificate for child care is a document that gives employees the right to receive benefits for a period of incapacity for work. And, of course, the rules for “sick leave” are constantly changing. Let's look at the nuances of calculating benefits and the rules for paying sick leave for child care in 2018. In this article we will give an example of calculating benefits.

How many days a year is paid sick leave for child care?

In Art. 6 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006 talks about how much and how sick leave is paid for child care in 2018. IN different cases Limits on paid days are different.

Let us remind you that from April 10, 2018, an employee can go on sick leave to care for a child under 7 years old for an unlimited time, even for the whole year. Previously, there were restrictions of 60 days. The employee must notify the employer that his child is sick. And he can return to work, say, in three months, confirming this with sick leave. In this case, the employer does not have the right to apply sanctions. Moreover, the accountant will have to calculate sick leave according to the old procedure, paying for 60 (in some cases 90) days of sickness. And all because now the doctor prescribes sick leave without any time limits.

Let's take a closer look at how sick leave with a child is paid.

Let's present the information in the form of a table.

Child's age	Number of paid days of care
	Outpatient treatment		Shared hospital stay
	One at a time insured event	During the calendar year	For one insured event
Child under 7 years old
Child from 7 to 15 years old
Disabled child under 18 years old
A disabled child under 18 years old is infected with HIV
A child under 18 years of age with an illness associated with a post-vaccination complication due to malignant neoplasms

* The child’s disease is included in the List approved by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated February 20, 2008 No. 84n.

Example 1. An employee's fourteen-year-old child fell ill. A certificate of incapacity for caring for him was issued for the period from August 17 to August 31, 2018 (on the 15th calendar days).

Since in 2018 the employee did not have certificates of incapacity for work for the child, and recovery was within the 15-day limit, the employee was entitled to benefits for the entire period of care. After this, the limit of paid days in 2018 is reduced by a third to 30 calendar days (45 - 15).

On what date should the age of the sick person be determined for payment of sick leave for child care?

The child's age is determined on the date when he began to get sick. On the same day, a certificate of temporary incapacity for work is issued.

Let's say a person turned seven years old during an illness. However, on the temporary disability certificate, in the line “Age (years/month),” the doctor will indicate six years. This follows from clause 58 of the Procedure approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated June 29, 2011 No. 624n.

How is sick leave calculated for child care?

The general rules for determining average daily earnings are as follows:

- all payments and deductions for the previous two years of work are taken into account. In 2018, this is income for 2016 and 2017. A woman who was on maternity leave at this time has the right to replace the period with an earlier one if this will help increase the amount of sick leave benefits;

- the amount of payments for calculating benefits cannot exceed in 2016 - 718,000 rubles, in 2017 - 755,000 rubles;

- average daily earnings = amount of payments taken into account for the billing period / 730

Amount of sick leave = Average daily earnings * % depending on insurance period* Number of paid days of illness of the child.

The percentage of experience depends on the method of treatment of the child

We presented the amount of sick leave for child care in 2018 in the table:

Where was the treatment	Insurance experience	Amount of temporary disability benefit, % of average earnings
outpatient	8 years or more	100% for the first 10 days and 50% for subsequent days of incapacity
	from 5 to 8 years	80% for the first 10 days and 50% for subsequent days of incapacity
		60% for the first 10 days and 50% for subsequent days of incapacity
in hospital	8 years or more
	from 5 to 8 years

The maximum average daily earnings, based on which sick leave is paid in 2018, is 2,017.81 rubles. [(RUB 718,000 + RUB 755,000) / 730 days].

The minimum average daily earnings for accrual of sick leave benefits in 2018 is 311.97 rubles. (9489 RUR * 24 months / 730 days).

By comparing the actual average daily earnings with the maximum and minimum size, assign for payment the amount that is greater than the minimum and less than the maximum.

Example 2: An employee's fourteen-year-old child fell ill. This is the first case of a child's illness in 2018. The period of caring for a sick child is 17 calendar days from February 22. The amounts of payments subject to social insurance contributions were: for 2017 - 212,000 rubles, for 2016 - 206,000 rubles. The employee's insurance experience is 12 years and 11 months. Let's calculate the payment of sick leave for child care in 2018.

For one insured event, you can pay for no more than 15 calendar days (clause 2, part 5, article 6 of Law No. 255-FZ). However, the child was sick for 17 calendar days. Accordingly, the employee will be paid: for the first 10 calendar days - in the amount of 100% of average earnings (insurance period of more than 8 years), from the 11th to 15th days - in the amount of 50% of average earnings. We do not pay for the 16th and 17th days of illness.

The average daily earnings for calculating benefits is 572.60 rubles. [(RUB 212,000 + RUB 206,000) / 730 days]. This value does not exceed the established maximum (RUB 572.60).< 2017,81 руб. руб.) и больше установленного минимума (572,60 руб. >311.97 rub.).

The amount of benefits that the employee will receive will be: for the first 10 days of care - 5,726.03 rubles. (572.60 rubles * 10 calendar days), from the 11th to the 15th - 1431.50 rubles. (RUB 572.60 * 50% * 5 calendar days).

If the period of patient care coincides with vacation

Accrual of sick leave payments with a child during vacation (it does not matter whether it is annual, maternity or without salary) is not made (Clause 1, Part 1, Article 9 of the Law “On Compulsory Social Insurance...” dated December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ). The only exception in this situation is the registration of sick leave during the period of annual leave directly due to the illness of the employee himself.

As provided in paragraph. 4 p. 40 of the Procedure for issuing certificates of incapacity for work, approved. By Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development dated June 29, 2011 No. 624n, sick leave cannot be issued in the event of a child’s illness during the parent’s annual, maternity or other type of leave.

Sick leave after dismissal

The employer is obliged to pay sick leave to an employee if he fell ill within 30 days after dismissal, did not manage to find a new job during this time and provided the necessary form at his previous place of work. However, this rule does not apply to cases of caring for children, but applies only to cases of loss of ability to work by the employee himself (Clause 2, Article 5 of Law No. 255-FZ).

Last update 02/10/2020Reading time: 11 min.

By law, if your child is sick, your employer will provide you with sick leave and pay for it. In this case, it is not necessary to be a parent; any close relative who cares for the child can apply for a certificate of incapacity for work.

There are restrictions on the amount of payment and the period of illness. In this article we will analyze in detail all the intricacies of the process and dwell on the features of calculating care benefits.

Who can take sick leave to care for a child?

A sick leave for child care is an official document that is issued by a doctor when a child is diagnosed with a disease and guarantees the payment of temporary benefits to a working relative. If previously only close family members - father, mother or guardians - were allowed to care for the sick, then since 2014 the rules have changed.

Now the doctor issues sick leave to any relative who will care for the child during illness. Situations are not allowed when, for example, sick leave is issued to the father, the mother or grandmother sits with the child, and the father goes to work.

Neither the degree of relationship nor whether the child lives together or separately with a caring relative is taken into account. The only point: a family member must work and be registered with the social insurance fund (FSS). Mothers who are on maternity leave due to pregnancy or caring for a child under 3 years old, but who work part-time or are engaged in light work, can apply for sick leave.

A certificate of incapacity for work cannot be issued:

for a schoolchild or student;
for an unemployed pensioner;
for a mother who is not working or is on maternity leave.

If a child has a long-term illness, sick leave is issued for several family members (in turn) within the period established by law, but only for one of them at a time.

The employer does not have the right to demand documents confirming relationship; to receive benefits, it is enough to present a certificate of incapacity for work with a stamp.
Grounds for release from work:

acute course of the disease in a child or exacerbation of the chronic stage;
treatment that will require the intervention of treating personnel or a set of measures using medications.

Sick leave is not issued for the treatment of chronic diseases in remission.

If two children are sick, one sheet is issued. If there are three or more, a second sick leave is issued. In cases where one of the children has already recovered and the second is sick, the certificate of incapacity for work is extended until the last patient is discharged.

Treatment can take place on an outpatient basis at home with regular visits to the doctor and drug treatment, or as an inpatient treatment in a day hospital or with hospitalization of the patient. In the latter case, serious medical intervention may be required and the child must remain in the institution together with an adult relative.

Registration of sick leave

To receive sick leave and release from work, the employee must go with the child to the medical institution at the place of registration of the minor. For outpatient treatment, the form is drawn up by the local doctor. He starts it at the first visit of the child with an accompanying person and extends it at the next visit. A relative must be present at every appointment so that the sick leave is extended in a timely manner and closed on time.

If inpatient treatment is necessary, a certificate of incapacity for work is opened by the attending physician in the hospital. A family member receives sick leave only if they are constantly with the minor. In both cases, the following documents will be required to open.

Child's birth certificate.
Passport of a caring relative.
Child's medical insurance.

After opening the certificate of incapacity for work, it can be immediately handed over to the caregiver or it can be constantly kept by the doctor until it is closed. In the first case, the adult will need to take the document with him every time to a doctor’s appointment in order to renew it. The second option is more convenient, but the relative will receive sick leave only after discharge.

Always contact a medical institution in a timely manner, since the opening of sick leave occurs directly on the day of the first visit. It is impossible to prepare the document earlier, and it will also be impossible to come to an agreement with the doctor - each sick leave at the clinic is officially recorded in the order of priority.

Procedure for calculating and paying sick leave

The benefit amount is calculated based on the completed certificate of incapacity for work. If it is completed without errors or omissions, payments should be received within 10 days. The employee receives compensation along with the next payment of wages. The entire amount of benefits from the first day of sick leave is paid by the Social Insurance Fund. The principle of payment for the first 3 days by the employer, as in cases of illness of an adult, does not apply.

If an employee has 2 places of work and is employed there (for example, work and part-time work), he receives 2 certificates of incapacity for work. But only if the place of work has not changed in the last 2 years. In other cases, one sheet is issued, which the employee presents to the employer at the current place of work or at one of them.

How many days are paid

The Social Insurance Fund pays benefits for the entire specified period, so restrictions apply to the period for which a certificate of incapacity for work is opened. The timing depends on the age of the child and the method of treatment and is strictly limited both for one disease and for all sick leave during the year.

* In the case of a child’s disease included in the List of Diseases established by the Federal Authority.

As can be seen from the table, relatives of children over 15 years of age are entitled to only 3 days for each disease, and only in the case of outpatient treatment. This period can be increased to 7 days by decision of the medical commission. Treatment in the hospital is not paid for - it is believed that in the hospital the medical staff will be able to provide all the necessary care to such adult children.

In some cases, deviations from the general principles of calculation are possible:

During the quarantine period in kindergartens, a relative of a preschooler is paid for the entire period of stay at home with the child.
Relatives of a disabled child are paid for the full period of treatment within one sick leave, but not more than 120 days annually.
Care for HIV-infected children is paid without restrictions on the length of sick leave.
Providing care for patients with complications after vaccination or cancer is paid in full for the entire period.

If the paid sick leave period for a year has expired, but the child’s recovery must continue, the employee has the right to remain on sick leave. Exceeding the limit will not be paid by law, but absence from work will serve as a valid reason.

The employer must keep records of the total number of days of sick leave for child care.

Sick leave calculation

The calculation takes into account the length of service and the average daily wages employee. IN work experience Only the period of time from which the employee was officially employed and registered with the Social Insurance Fund is taken into account. Let us analyze the features of both factors in calculating the payment amount.

Employee's length of service and percentage of payment

If the child was treated in a hospital, then the entire amount of payments must be calculated relative to the length of the experience. When treating at home based on length of service, the first 10 days of sick leave are paid, then 50% of the average wage is taken into account.

In digital form, the data looks like this:

Work experience of up to 6 months is paid according to the minimum wage per month, but not less than 370.85 rubles for each day of sick leave from January 1, 2019.
With work experience from six months to 5 years, 60 percent of average earnings are taken into account.
Experience 5-8 years - 80%. Continuous experience from 8 years old, 100% of the average salary is paid.

Average daily earnings

When determining average daily earnings, several factors are decisive.

Previous years of work. Only the last 2 years before the date on which the certificate of incapacity for work was issued are taken into account. For example, when calculating benefits in 2019, average earnings for 2017 and 2018 will be taken as the basis. If at this time the employee did not have a salary (for example, a woman was in 2017 and 2018), then the amount is taken for previous years, in our case for 2015 and 2016. If the salary for these years is less than the minimum wage or was absent (the person has not worked before), then the minimum wage is taken as the basis for the calculation.
The amount of average income for the year. The average salary for the year cannot exceed the maximum base for contributions to the Social Insurance Fund. If there was a change in years in the selection of the period for which the payment is calculated, then the amounts are used for the corresponding year.
All insurance payments for which contributions were accrued to the Social Insurance Fund. The calculation takes into account salary, bonuses, allowances, vacation pay, and travel allowances. Payment for sick leave, maternity leave or payment under a non-employment contract is not taken into account.

The amount of average daily earnings is calculated by adding the average annual amounts and dividing them by 730 days. The number of days always remains the same.

Example of sick leave calculation

Let’s assume that employee A. A. Izumrudova has been working at Golden Globe LLC for 6 years and 4 months. Izumrudova has a son who is 5 years old. In February 2018, she was on sick leave with him for 7 days. On October 18, 2018, the child fell ill again, and the mother turned to the local doctor, who prescribed him outpatient treatment and opened a sick leave. After 14 days, Izumrudova’s son recovered safely and was discharged on October 31. Citizen A. A. Izumrudova received a closed certificate of incapacity for work.

So, let's see how the payment amount will be calculated. The child is 5 years old, so for one case of sick leave a maximum of 15 days and up to 45 days per year can be paid. In our case, 7 days. + 14 days = 21 days This means that the citizen will be paid for the entire period of her sick leave.

Izumrudova’s average earnings for 2016 were 650,000 rubles, for 2017 - 700,000 rubles. We calculate the daily average:

(650,000 rub. + 700,000 rub.) / 730 days. = 1,849 rub.

The length of service gives a citizen the right to receive 80% of the average income for the first 10 days of sick leave. The remaining 4 days are calculated at 50% of the average wage:

RUB 1,849 × 80% × 10 days. = 14,792 rub.

RUB 1,849 × 50% × 4 days. = 3,698 rub.

In total, the total amount of disability payment will be 14,792 rubles. + 3,698 rub. = 18,490 rub. Remember that you will need to pay personal income tax on the payment amount.

Filling out a certificate of incapacity for work

The sick leave form has the official form established by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development. The document must be filled out accurately and without errors; entries are made exclusively in the columns provided for this. Each item is divided into cells and filled in from the first square without gaps. You cannot go beyond the boundaries of the cell. It is necessary that each letter or number is completely contained in the square and does not touch its edges.

Let's look at an example of how to fill out a certificate of incapacity for work.

The first few points are standard - information about the medical institution, date of issue of sick leave, full name of the adult, date of birth and place of work.
In the paragraph “cause of disability” the numbers 09 are entered - for care.
Information about the minor is entered in the “care” column. The first 2 digits are age, the next are the nature of the relationship (38 - mother, 39 - father, 40 - guardian, 41 - trustee, 42 - another relative). Next is the child's full name. In our case, there are two children cared for by their mother.
The item “exemption from work” reflects all extensions of sick leave. The total period is calculated from the first to the last date. The position and full name of the doctor are also indicated. Below is the date from which the parent must return to work.

Filling with a gel pen with black ink is allowed; the doctor can enter data on the printer. The certificate of incapacity for work is divided into 2 parts: one is filled out by the doctor, the second by the employer.

Before taking the document to work, make sure that the health worker has filled out all fields correctly and without errors. An incorrectly completed document will not be paid for. The employer, for its part, attaches a full calculation of the payment amount, printed in free form, and enters only the final figures on the sheet. In our case, the item “at the expense of the Federal Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation” is filled in.

Is sick leave paid during vacation?

Child care is not paid in cases where the caregiver does not need time off from work. Such cases include: paid leave, maternity leave for pregnancy and childbirth or to care for a child under 3 years of age, leave without pay.

Letter of Rostrud dated 06/01/2012 N PG/4629-6-1

Opening a sick leave is relevant if the adult is already returning to work from vacation, and the child has still not recovered. Then the vacation is extended, and sick leave starts from the first working day. If a child catches a cold before a planned vacation, only the days before going on vacation are paid according to the certificate of incapacity for work.

Let's give 2 examples.

The mother goes on paid leave from September 12. The child fell ill on September 8, and the sick leave was closed on September 20. In this case, the employee will be paid benefits for 4 days: September 8, 9, 10, 11.
The daughter fell ill on March 27 while her mother was on vacation. The mother goes back to work on April 3, and the daughter recovers on April 7. Sick leave opens from April 3 to April 7, and benefits are accrued for 5 days.

A working person needs to be attentive to the preparation of sick leave for child care, in order not only to provide the employer with a valid reason for absence from work, but also to receive the full amount due payment. Carefully study all the nuances in each specific case.

Good afternoon Tell me if I understand correctly. Our child is now in the hospital after surgery due to a fractured femur. Now his dad is lying with him, it turns out that dad can apply for sick leave for himself while he is in the hospital, and after discharge I can apply for sick leave for himself while the child is recovering (he will be in a cast for about 3 months)? I'm interested in the issue of registration, payment is not important in in this case.

2019-11-08T17:03:49+00:00

Good afternoon! Please tell me how sick leave is paid for a 6-year-old child. We have this situation. In April, I was with him on sick leave, first in the hospital (we had an operation), then he was in a cast for 3 weeks. In total, sick leave I was 1 month old. They paid me 100% for it. In August we had another operation and we were also first in the hospital for 7 days (they paid me 100%), and then at home in a cast for 18 days (they paid me 50%). The sick leave sheet at the hospital was not closed for me and was left open. And in the hospital, during outpatient treatment, they issued me a new one, but marked a duplicate. They explained to me that since a duplicate means a continuation of the old sick leave, that’s why it is paid 50%, But if If they had closed it at the hospital, but opened it for outpatient, then it would have been 100% (the operation was carried out in one city. And we were treated on an outpatient basis in our own city) Was I paid for it correctly?

2019-10-28T11:00:06+00:00

2019-10-24T19:42:56+00:00

Hello Alena! As stated in Art. 6 255-FZ:

"in the case of caring for a sick child under 7 years of age - for the entire period of outpatient treatment or cohabitation with a child in an inpatient treatment facility, but not more than 60 calendar days in a calendar year for all cases of caring for this child.”

That is, for every child under 7 years of age (not disabled or suffering from serious illnesses) there is a sick leave limit of 60 days a year.

And they will write out their own sick leave for everyone and calculate everything.

But if children get sick at the same time, they will issue one sick leave. And here there is no general opinion: in some FSS I think that days should be counted for both, in others, that for one, because one insured event.

2019-10-24T14:43:45+00:00

Quote from another site, but the essence is the same “You need to understand that the limit is set for one child, and not for one relative. Example: the limit of paid days per year, taking into account the child’s age and other factors - 60 days. First with a baby, 35 days The mother served 30, then the father will not be paid for the last 5 days of sick leave, since the limit (30+35=65) will already be exhausted."

question! But if I have 2 children under 7 years old, in this case is the paid limit 60 or is it still 120 days?

and... is this the law? or already decrypted

2019-08-30T16:27:02+00:00

Good afternoon! Please tell me how to calculate payment for sick leave, code 09. Duration from 06/20/19 to 08/23/19

Our child got into an accident, from June 20 to June 23 he was in intensive care, from June 23 in the traumatology department to July 12 he had surgery. From July 12 to August 23 he was in outpatient treatment. The child did not recover, doctors predict a rehabilitation period of 8 to 12 months, then surgery, but the hospital was closed .

2019-07-05T10:26:55+00:00

2019-07-04T23:35:37+00:00

Please tell me how sick leave should be paid, I was in a hospital with my child in another city. The sick leave was opened from the day of the operation, the total period of sick leave was 35 days. The hospital issued one sick leave for the entire stay in the hospital. When I turned in my sick leave, they said that only 15 days of sick leave would be paid.

It is impossible to combine patient care and work responsibilities. A person receiving benefits cannot receive wages at the same time, since these are mutually exclusive things. A situation is possible when the child’s parent registers sick leave, receives benefits, and the grandmother treats the patient, while the parent works and receives remuneration for his work. This is wrong. If a parent provides the employer with a certificate confirming the child’s illness, then he cannot work at his workplace. Such a person receives compensation on a slip and does not work throughout the entire period of illness for which the sick leave is open. Sick leave for child care can be paid if 1, 2 or more children fall ill. Moreover, information about them can be reflected on one certificate of loss of ability to work if there are no more than 2 children.

Sick leave for child care

But only a maximum of 60 calendar days of sick leave for child care are paid during the year. If a child between 7 and 15 years old is sick, a child care bulletin is issued for a period of no more than 15 days for each case of illness. The number of cases is not limited. But during the year, a maximum of 45 days of sick leave are paid.

If a teenager over 15 years of age falls ill, sick leave to care for him can be obtained for up to 3 days, and by decision of the medical commission - up to 7 days. The total number of days per year is not limited, BUT a maximum of 30 days of such sick leave are paid. If your child requires outpatient treatment, you can receive sick leave.

Sick leave is usually issued for the entire period of illness if the child is under 7 years old. Sick leave can also be obtained for caring for a sick child, if the child is from 7 to 14 years old, it is issued for up to 15 days, in some cases it can be extended.

Attention

If two children are cared for at the same time, only one sheet is issued. If there are more children, then the doctor is obliged to write out an additional form that has equal validity as the original one. The legislation provides for cases when the same child is cared for during illness by different relatives.

Important

In this case, a certificate of incapacity for work is issued for each of them, indicating the exact period of time. Citizens provide completed forms at their place of work for payment. Payment for sick leave for child care is made depending on the number of days and disability code.

That is why, with a long-term illness, parents or guardians usually take turns caring for the sick person.

Sick leave for child care: calculation nuances

Home
Accounting and calculation of sick leave

An employee can receive compensation from the employer not only in the event of loss of ability to work due to his own illness or injury, but also in the event of a child’s illness (child care sick leave). This guarantee to the worker is provided by Article 5 of the 255th Law of December 29, 2006 (as amended on March 9, 2016). Compensation takes the form of a benefit due to loss of ability to work in connection with caring for a sick child; it is paid by the employer on the basis of a sick leave certificate provided by the employee, issued by a doctor.
The right to payment of benefits appears provided that the child’s illness occurred at the time the parent had official employment and a salary with mandatory deduction of insurance-type contributions to the Social Insurance Fund.

Sick leave for child care in 2018

Sick leave for the following days (from April 17 to March 30) = 1763.89*50%*14 = 12347.23 rubles;
Total amount of compensation = 14111.12+12347.23 = 26458.35 rubles.

Until what age is sick leave granted with a child (cm)?

The dependence on experience is as follows:

100% of the average salary - from 8 years of experience;
80% - from 5 to 8;
60% - up to 5.

Calculation of sick leave for child care When calculating sick leave compensation, you should go through the following steps:

Determine the period for performing the calculation;
Calculate the total number of days in this period, taking into account all weekends and holidays;
Determine the total amount of funds paid for this period, from which contributions to the fund were paid;
Calculate the average earnings for one day by dividing the total salary by the number of billing days;
Multiply the daily average earnings by the corresponding percentage;
Multiply the result of the last multiplication by the number of sick days.

Calculation nuances The calculation period is 2 calendar years (from 01/01 to 12/31) preceding the year of the child’s illness.

“atypical” sick leave for child care

Earnings for the last 2 years - 948,000 rubles. There were no sick days during this period. To calculate the benefit amount, you must:

Calculate the average daily earnings:

948,000 / 730 = 1,298.63 rubles.

Calculate the amount of benefits for the first 10 days of the child’s illness, taking into account the percentage of work experience:

1,298.63 × 10 × 80% = RUB 10,398.04

Calculate payment for the last 5 days of sick leave based on ½ average earnings:

1,298.63 / 2 × 5 = 3,246.57 rubles. The total amount of the benefit will be 13,644.61 rubles. An example of how to pay sick leave for a child from 7 years of age until he reaches 15 years of age, if kindergarten the second child is quarantined, see

How is sick leave for child care calculated?

A citizen who takes out sick leave in order to care for his children is interested in what kind of payment he can receive at his place of employment. Therefore, it is important to know how sick leave is calculated.

Only the first three days of this period are paid by the employer, and the remaining funds are sent from the Social Insurance Fund. To calculate sick leave for child care, the employee’s daily earnings at a specific place of employment are taken into account. To do this, it is calculated how much money the citizen received during two years of work. After this, earnings per day of work are determined. The resulting value is multiplied by the number of days of sick leave.

For the first 10 days, the amount of payment depends on the length of service. Sick leave for child care is paid differently for different employees:

if the experience is less than five years, then only 60% of the average earnings are transferred;
if the duration of this period varies from 5 to 8 years, then 80% of the salary is transferred;
with over 8 years of experience, a 100% payment is assigned.

If the duration of sick leave exceeds 10 days, then in the following days the citizen can count on a payment equal to 50% of his average earnings.

How to determine average earnings?

To calculate sick leave, it is important to correctly calculate the average citizen’s earnings for one day of work. To do this, the accountant performs the following actions:

the total amount of the employee’s income for two years of employment is determined;
based on the obtained value, the average monthly earnings are calculated;
the indicator is then divided by the average number of working days per month, which makes it possible to determine a citizen’s income per day.

During the calculation, all cash receipts of a citizen are taken into account, represented not only by salary, but also by various additional payments, bonuses or other remunerations.

Calculation nuances

When calculating payment for sick leave for child care, it is taken into account whether the treatment took place in a hospital or at home. If the minor was in the hospital, then when calculating the benefit, all days of illness are taken into account, taking into account the parent’s length of service.

If the treatment was carried out at home, then only for 10 days the calculation is based on the parent’s length of service, and subsequent days are paid in the amount of 50% of the citizen’s average earnings.

How to fill out the accounting sheet?

The company's accountant must know what information is entered into the work time sheet at the citizen's place of employment. For this purpose, it is taken into account how many days of sick leave for child care were issued.

Therefore, difficulties arise in obtaining compensation.

Military personnel cannot take sick leave to care for a sick child, but they can count on leave for personal reasons. To do this, you need to submit a report to the unit commander. Such leave is allowed several times a year. But when drawing up a report, it is necessary to state that rest days are required to care for a sick child.

Nuances of registration for caring for a disabled child

If parents are raising a disabled child, they have the right to annually take out up to 120 days of sick leave to care for a disabled child. It does not matter whether the treatment takes place in an inpatient or outpatient setting.

If a minor is HIV-infected, then parents and other relatives are paid at the expense of the state for the entire period of stay with the child in the hospital.

Sick leave is issued in situations where complications arise after vaccination or serious cancer is detected.

When filling out a sick leave certificate, the doctor must correctly indicate the reason for the disability using a special code. If the child is officially disabled, then the number 13 is entered. If he has a malignant tumor or serious complications have arisen after vaccination, then code 14 is used. If the minor is HIV-infected, then code 15 is used for him.

Conclusion

Parents can apply for sick leave at their place of employment to care for their children. At the same time, they can count on paying for it at the expense of the employer and the state. The amount of payment depends on the length of service of the citizen, the period of care for the minor, as well as on the reason for registering the period of incapacity for work.

When determining the optimal period of sick leave, the age of the child is taken into account, as well as the nuances of his treatment.

At the same time, in medical institutions, when filling out a certificate of incapacity for work, the degree of relationship and documents confirming this fact are not asked. Grandmothers, grandfathers, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts and other relatives can receive paid sick leave on completely legal grounds. Despite the fact that the degree of relationship in medical institutions is not requested, sick leave will be paid from the Social Insurance Fund only for those employees who cared for relatives. This fact is checked at the interdepartmental level by sending relevant requests without the participation of the citizen. Certificates of incapacity for work are issued only in a clinic or similar medical institution. Emergency or emergency doctors do not have the right to issue sick leave.
