Few workers take advantage of care leave ruling
Only one in six workers with a sick child, partner or parent took advantage of rules allowing time off to care for them last year, the national statistics office CBS reports on Monday.
Some 539,000 people spent at least part of 2009 caring for a relative who was ill for longer than two weeks, the CBS said.
