Good Practice

Time off for IVF

Overview

For Employees

There is no specific "IVF leave" law, but appointments should count as medical. Sickness from treatment is treated as normal sick leave.

For Employers

Supporting IVF reduces stress, which aids success. Be generous with appointment flexibility.

Key Considerations

  • Sick leave if side effects occur.
