New Maternity/Paternity Leave Regulations

implausible · 2010-10-20 15:51:04

I wonder when this will come into force. It's about time that there was statutory leave for the dads as well, the few days (if at all) that men get at the moment is pathetic!

Personally, I think this move is a bad thing, all its going to do is make it really hard for women to get jobs because employers won't want to pay maternity leave, and I can completely see their point. My school is permanently losing teachers for maternity leave, they have one baby, come back for a few months, then have another baby so on and so forth. They cost a fortune.

There is no point having loads of maternity leave if there isn't the same amount of paternity leave, it just puts everyone at a disadvantage.
