How The Zero Weeks Of Paid Maternity Leave In The U.S. Compare Globally
Did not know the US didn’t provide maternity pay. I’m sure both parents are entitled to it in the UK. So they have no national health service? No maternity pay? What about the welfare system? Where do all the taxes go?
tax’s go’s on army
but in a real response, the uk one is slightly wrong, you can have 20 weeks as a minimum, most compantys offer 9 months and some even up to a year
where i worked was 9 months full pay then the rest of the year half pay or something like that.
I’m getting 39 weeks at about 90% pay, but up to 52 weeks actual leave. And that’s in the UK, at a very low level job.
It seems very odd that in the US, a country that seems to want to make everyone have children(limited access to abortion, no free birth control) makes you pay for actually doing it.
