Carer’s leave in France: prepare the file

Preparing French carer’s leave requires separating the relationship with the person helped, required evidence and proposed arrangements. Leave, splitting the absence and the AJPA allowance are different issues. Build the record without unnecessary medical details. This preparation does not determine eligibility from family relationship alone and does not constitute the employer’s agreement to the requested arrangement.
