You are entitled to childcare leave in accordance with the Child Development Co-Savings Act (CDCA).
The leave should be adjusted based on the number of working hours, so that it is equivalent to that of a full-time employee, subject to a minimum of 2 days.
Your leave is calculated as follows:
Average number of hours a week the part-time employee has to work

A part-time employee works an average of 4 hours a week, and a similar existing full-time employee works an average of 8 hours a day and 44 hours a week.

4/44 x 6 x 8 = 4.4 hours (subject to minimum of two days)
The part-time employee will be entitled to 2 days of childcare leave, equivalent to four hours each day.
