30JE: COVID-19 response work day is not keeping-in-touch day

You could also call this:

“Working during COVID-19 doesn't count as a keeping-in-touch day”

If you work during the COVID-19 response, this work day doesn’t count as a keeping-in-touch day. Keeping-in-touch days are usually when you go back to work for a short time during your parental leave. But if you work as part of the COVID-19 response, it’s treated differently. This rule helps make sure that your COVID-19 response work doesn’t affect your parental leave arrangements.
