Vodafone’s new employee support offers ten days of paid leave for carers to meet the likes of hospital appointments and therapy sessions without having to take unpaid leave or time away from work.

Vodafone Ireland has announced new supports for employees who are carers, including ten additional days of paid leave and flexible working options.

The communications provider has said its new ‘Caring for Vulnerable Others’ support for employees is the first of its kind in Ireland, as it will extend not just to employees caring for immediate family members but to staff who play a principal role in caring for any ‘loved one’ including a close friend or neighbour.
