Re: Maternity Leave for single mums....

i think single mum is eligble for maternity leave. just that it's not as long as 16 weeks.. .you might want to chk out here: Family & Community Development @ eCitizen - Government-Paid Maternity Leave or call them directly to seek for their advices...

Re: Maternity Leave for single mums....

Reason why single mums get lesser maternity leave than married ones is because the government is not reimbursing the Company at all! So in fact, employers are already very compassionate when they give more than 2 months.

Unfair but real

Re: Maternity Leave for single mums....

that's pretty unfair...
well, i'm not trying to say that Single mom should deserve better as we are the divorced or our mates died...

the things are single mom should be treated as equal as married moms as deserves the same equality.

Lucky my company did gave me the same ML as others.
If not i sure complain...

Gov should take notice with it and practicing more equality as much as possible.
