3. Directive 2011525 on work-family life balance (a fictitious measure) provides inter alia that " all employees with caring responsibilities for children, parents or siblings should not be required to work past 3 pm in the case of full-time work, and should have a choice as to shift times in the case of shift work. ' all employees are entitled to one week's paid leave, in addition to any contractual holiday entitlement, in case of childcare emergencies. Member States were obliged to implement the directive by 31 December 2012. Cyprus has not yet adopted any measures to implement the Directive. Cyprus employment legislation, which predates the Directive, provides that "appropriate measures should be taken to ensure that the needs and family emergencies of those who have children below the age of 10 are taken into account at work." Zoe is employed by the police force in Cyprus. She has three school-age children and requests to finish work at 3pm, which would enable her to pick them up from school. Her employers permit her to finish work at 4pm which they consider an appropriate adjustment to accommodate her needs. Georgia is 18 years old and is employed by a call centre. She has major responsibilities for her recently seriously disabled mother and her two much younger siblings. She requests that she works the evening shift but her request is rejected on the grounds that the Cyprus legislation does not create any obligations on employers in relation to those caring for parents or siblings. She has no option but to leave her job. Lucas is employed as a taxi driver. He is a single parent to 2 year old Christos. Christos has chicken pox and his nursery has excluded him for one week until the rash clears. Lucas' employers are prepared to give him one week's unpaid leave. Lucas cannot afford to lose the income so employs a nanny for that week and carries the cost of that. Advise Zoe, Georgia and Lucas as to any rights and remedies they may have under EU Law
