Only general residential operations that offer emergency care services may provide respite child-care services. Other operations may not provide respite child-care services, and no operation may use respite child-care services. The purpose of respite child-care services is to provide relief to a child's biological or foster parent, not an employee. Respite for an employee is provided through time off, vacations, holidays, and sick leave.
