Child born on 7th May 2002?, does the entitlement ends on 6th May or valid to end of the year?

According to MOM, childcare leave can be for any 12 months period as agreed by both employer and employee. If there is no agreement, the leave year will be the calendar year by default.

In your example, for the 1st year entitlement and 2nd year entitlement, some company will go into details to calculate how many days childcare leave you are entitled based on the month of birth of your child, for example, if is born in May, then the company may use 7/12 x 6 days to calculate the first year entitlement of the childcare leave and using formula 5/12 x 6 days to calculate the last year entitlement when the children reaching 7 years old.

However, most of the company will just grant full 7 days for full 7 years to save all the trouble in calculation and modifying the HR system.
