This thesis will analyze and evaluate the legal system of care for related persons and carers leave and further discuss its flaws. I will do this by reviewing the current legal sources as well as the new preambles that are under consideration at the moment. This thesis will discuss the matter of who can take out carers leave and get compensation for it and under what circumstances. Furthermore, it will examine what impact the two new preambles will have on the subject as well as the protection of employees. The results are that the legal system is hard to manage and there are certain words that need to be clarified. If the preambles are implemented it will, in my opinion, in some ways make life easier for the persons who provide the care and protect his or her employment status.
