Parents allowed off, but without pay

Parents with young children who will be forced to stay home on the coming two Mondays due to the state of emergency that decreed all schools to be closed, will be allowed to stay away from work, but it will be without any pay.

The rule was clarified by the Minister of the Presidency, who said that no legal provision was made to allow parents to claim a percentage of their lost revenue back from social security, as had been the case during the previous academic year.
