Is an employee who is caring for more than one dependant entitled to two lots of carer's leave?

No, the amount of carer's leave is determined per employee, not per dependant.

This means that an employee who is caring for more than one dependant (such as a disabled child and an elderly parent) is still entitled only to one week's carer's leave within any 12-month period.

The statutory right to carer's leave is in force from 6 April 2024.
