If an employee is caring for their partner, child or parent who has a life-threatening illness, they are entitled to long-term care leave, given that the life of the person concerned is at a serious risk over a short term. Employees are allowed to take a long-term care leave for a period of up to twelve weeks every year, during which time they can reduce the number of working hours to no less than half of normal. Wages are not paid to the employee for the number of hours they utilise for long-term care leave.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.
Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands
