Recital 19
(19) To increase the incentives for workers with children and caring responsibilities, men in particular, to take the periods of leave provided for in this Directive, they should have the right to an adequate allowance while on leave. The level of the allowance should be at least equivalent to what the worker concerned would receive in case of sick leave or, where no sick leave is applicable, to at least 75% of the carer’s gross income. Member States should take into account the importance of the continuity of the entitlements to social security, including pension and healthcare.
