Maternity
I'm interested to hear what maternity pay is provided by different companies and for how long.
Being the higher earner in our family I'm surprised at how low the government statutory pay is (£117 per week). My company pays 90% for 6 weeks and then it's down to statutory pay. But I don't think it's healthy for the baby to stop breastfeeding at 6 weeks and it's not very good if the mother has to return to work after just 6 weeks' maternity.
Any thoughts?
