Employees entitled to family-related leave

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Employee entitlement to the declared family-related leave set during the reporting period, shown as source-reported headcount and percentage of the in-scope employee population with jurisdiction and entitlement basis retained.

Unit
Employees entitled (headcount and percentage of employees)

Aggregation

Reporting boundary

ESRS is employee-only. An overall percentage for all four types is not a value for each type. A partial type set remains explicitly partial. Headcounts can be summed only across mutually exclusive jurisdictions under the same counting convention and leave scope. Percentages are not added or averaged; an aggregate can be recalculated only from compatible disclosed counts under a separately admitted method.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772, consolidated 1 January 2025 — Consolidated 1 January 2025 edition. Retain the exact source edition on every observation; later editions require a separate method profile.

  • ESRS profile and edition.
  • Employee population.
  • Maternity, paternity, parental, carers' leave or declared multi-type set.
  • All-four or partial-set status.
  • Paid, unpaid, mixed or unspecified pay status.
  • Jurisdiction.
  • Legal, policy, contract, agreement or collective bargaining entitlement basis.
  • Employee counting convention.
  • Retain the exact measurement-source edition with every observation.
  • The count and percentage refer to the same employee population, jurisdiction, entitlement basis, leave scope, and reporting period.

Record-specific limitations

  • Entitlement does not show actual leave use, affordability, length, job protection or equal access. National law and collective agreements vary. Current ESRS does not prescribe a detailed employee counting point for the percentage, and privacy or phase-in can suppress values.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
