I have been getting around either 4 or 6 weeks unpaid during the summer holidays. This un paid time was requested as parental leave. My youngest is now 8 since November and I am not entitled to parental leave this year.
I have requested 7 unpaid weeks. My employer says that there is no precedent of this type of leave in the company and that my pension , health insurance and PRSI contributions will have to stop for those 7 weeks.
I have been able to talk to the Pension broker who says it is up to me whether I want to do voluntary contributions spread out during the year to cover the 7 weeks or I just don't want to do contributions for 7 weeks at all.
The health insurance company says i can pay for the contributions myself. I forgot to ask them what happens if I don't pay at all for the 7 weeks.
Regarding the PRSI: i haven't been able to talk to them today.
Any information/advice on where I stand with all these contribution will be great.
