Closed petition Maternity leave at full pay for 1 year for women that are 26 weeks into the job.

The Government should pay full salaries for women that are 26 weeks into the job for a full year and the rest can apply for maternity allowance.

Don’t leave it to the employers and put parents to choose between their children and their job.

More details

The income is reduced massively when in maternity after a full time job.

Will increase the number of women and man that are working, can apply to parental leave as well. The benefits rate might drop and it will take the pressure from the system. UK is one of the few country’s that has this system that doesn’t encourage full time workers to have children.
