WHAT ARE BACK-UP CHILD CARE PROGRAMS ABOUT

When the employee’s child caretaker (nanny, grandmother, etc.) falls ill or goes on vacation, or if the child catches a cold, it is always a nightmare to quickly find an alternative solution to staying at home.

Customized back-up programs are designed to provide this alternative. There are no two identical back-up programs – each is tailored in line with compensation policy / practices.

This benefit can be made available to the wide employee population or limited to a specific group, depending on how employee packages are structured. Most back-up programs entail the purchase of additional time by the employer to cover the cost of extra child care.
