Keeping in Touch (KIT) Days

By mutual agreement between the employee and the employer, employees may work up to 10 days during the statutory leave, without losing the benefit of their statutory payment. If further days are worked, they lose it for the week.

KIT days may not be taken in the first 2 weeks after childbirth, as the law prohibits a woman from working during this period. Such days do not extend the period of maternity pay or leave.

When an employee returns to work after having used all of their 10 KIT days, you must manually stop the absence and then restart it once this period is over so that statutory payment is interrupted.
