Is child care leave based on calendar or fiscal year ? Eg, baby born in Aug 2016, CCL is 6 days till Dec 2016 or till Aug 2017?

Standard would be based on calendar year, you can check with your hr if any deviation in the company. Another thing to note is you can choose not to take it in the first year but from the second year on. eg, if you give birth in Aug 2016, since you have maternity leaves and possibly annual leave/other leaves to consume by end of the year, you might want to start your CCL only in 2017. cheers. :)

it's for the first 7 years.. so if you take it from the year baby is born, it would be till he/she is 6 years old. if you start the following year, it would be till your kid is 7 years old.

According to the MOM website, it's usually based on the calendar year but it also says that it depends on your company as well. From past experience, if you work in the Civil Service, it's calendar year. http://www.mom.gov.sg/faq/childcare-leave/how-is-the-childcare-leave-year-calculated-is-it-based-on-the-calendar-year-or-on-my-work-anniversary

Childcare leave is measured by any 12-month period agreed on by employer and employee. By default, it's the calendar year. However, you may choose to use a different measurement, such as the financial year or the employee's work anniversary https://washingears.com/how-to-remove-stains-from-wood-floors/

It’s based on calendar year. If you choose to activate it this year, you’ll have to consume all 6 days by 31 Dec as it cannot be carried forward to the next year..

Most of the company is based on calendar year usually and cannot carry forward. Better check with your company.

Depends on your company usually would be the calendar year. It should be till dec2016.

Depends on which method your company adopts. Most companies uses calendar year.
