iinarihoudai Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I am surprised by the number of Totally unapproves for the last three questions. Being mandated to make an offer for those who would want to take it does not mean everyone would *have* to take the offer. 1. Business fairness - Unfair 2. 3 year maternity leave- Totally approve 3. 2 year maternity leave- Totally approve 4. 1 year maternity leave- Totally approve I would also hope there would be provisions for smaller businesses so they don't go under. That way women won't be discriminated in the workplace and we don't have businesses failing. I believe Canada has something in place for single mothers to be able to stay at home with their children for the first two or three years of life.

Male3. Caucasian4. MarriedIt might also be worth asking where people live... different people live in places which have different employment and maternity laws.I personally think the law in the UK is reasonable. Mothers can get 6 months mandatory leave on full salary, and an additional 6 months leave on a limited salary if they choose to take it (im not sure how much it's limited by). Both 2 and 3 years, either on full or limited pay, leave it open for massive abuse. I know a lady that had three children, taking her full years leave with each child, and getting pregnant again very quickly after returning to work. No-one in the office really knew her, despite her being employed there for four years, simply because she was absent for so many long periods at a time. And that was abusing one years leave, imagine what she would do with three? Edited March 31, 2012 by Mahone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroads Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Overall, do you believe that businesses are fair in their treatment of the family needs of their employees?, __Fair. As far as I've seen things.Science tells us that the first three years of life are critical for a child's development. Would you approve of businesses being mandated to offer maternity leave of up to three (3) years?Unapprove. What if a business can't afford to pay a non-working employee for that long?Would you approve of businesses being mandated to offer maternity leave of up to two (2) years?Unapprove. See above.Would you approve of businesses being mandated to offer maternity leave of up to one (1) year?Still unapprove. While I laud businesses who offer good maternity leave, I have trouble with the word "mandate".These questions are optional:What is your age? 27What is your gender? FemaleWhat is your ethnicity? CaucasianWhat is your marital status? Married. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
