Social:Climate leave
From HandWiki
Climate leave is paid time off from work that workers may use to address needs at one's home resulting from adverse weather impacts without losing pay.[1] The policy was first adopted in Spain by the government of Pedro Sánchez in November 2024 in response to the impact of the 2024 Spanish floods.[2]
In the United States, "weather and safety leave" is authorized under section 6329c of Title 5 of the United States Code for federal employees in response to closures of federal offices or prevention of travel to work at a federal office, but not in response to weather and safety impacts on the employee's home.[3]
