That's a good point. The winners are the women who already have jobs I suppose.sundaymorningstaple wrote:The maternity leave increase is going to backfire in their faces.

Nice idea, ohnuts. The education ministry has got it all sorted out - a long list of relief teachers so that they can find someone to step in even at the last minute if a teacher falls sick, and even more so when a teacher goes on extended maternity leave. I've long thought the other industries should develop a similar system, though granted other jobs aren't as homogenous as teaching nor is any single company as large as the teaching service, so it will more more co-ordination amonst companies to manage a similar relief pool. Still, what we're lacking is not resources but imagination and I do like your idea.ohnuts wrote:I have the perfect answer, perhaps they allow the ready willing and able, expat, experienced spouses unwillingly on dependent passess to fill in for the 1/3 year, giving them an opportunity to do something other than whatever it is they do and still manage to go on holidays with their children/spouses regularly - like the very long school holidays! Now that would be my kind of job!
You're psychic? It was published today that employers who fire a woman in the last 6 months of pregnancy still have to give her maternity benefits. Well done SMS, and the Gahmen too!sundaymorningstaple wrote:The maternity leave increase is going to backfire in their faces.
