Although employees returning to work will be a relief to the economy and work places, there remains a problem for parents who work.

As nurseries, kindergartens and schools remain shuttered, parents are put in to a difficult situation - they must go to work to support their families, but they also must watch their chilren.

Finance Minister Smotrich has decided that, as part of the compensation framework, in families with children under the age of 14 across the country, one of the parents will be allowed to take unpaid leave for as long as the education system remains closed.
