On May 9, 2022, Law No. 21,441 was published in the Official Gazette, which amends Article 66 of the Labor Code, extending the duration of the work leave for workers in case of death of the father or mother, and incorporating the same leave in case of death of a sibling.

Specifically, this law establishes that, in the case of death of a sibling, father or mother of the worker, such worker will be entitled to a paid leave of absence for 4 working days.
