How Much Maternity Leave Do You Get?

6 May 2009 No Comment

In the UK, women get 52 weeks maternity leave, 39 of which are paid. Women’s rights to paid leave are worse in the US. In Australia, you get 12 months, but it is unpaid. What do you think is reasonable? And should it be possible to split the leave between mums and dads. Look at the new proposals from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, and tell us what would work best for you.
