MK Uri Maklev (UTJ), along with a slew of other MKs , has proposed a law that would allow a parent to miss up to 90 days of work per year to accompany a child that needs regular medical care for a serious illness. The 90 days would be deducted from the employees vacation and sick days.
Qualifying sicknesses would be anything requiring dialysis or anything approved by the Minister of Commerce in coordination with the Ministers of Health and Finance.
Obviously, the reason such a law is important is that it will allow parents to get treatment for their kids without having to worry about losing their jobs for needing to take so much time off of work.

What do parents do if they do not have 90 sick and vacation days accrued in their "account"? Most employees do not have that many days available to them. Who covers the payment for the days in excess of what the employee actually has coming to him or her?
