Many women get no maternity leave pay at all, while very few get full pay

This is one of the findings of CareerJunction’s latest gender survey, with a sample size of 1,600 men and women.

"More than a third of South African women feel that that their gender and parental responsibilities are holding them back from advancing in their careers," the job search and recruitment portal said on Tuesday.Only 18% receive full pay during this period, however, and 28% receive less than 50% of their pay.Caring for children also falls primarily on women, and does affect employers, the survey found.

More than 40% of female survey participants with children said they relied on their three days’ annual family responsibility leave to attend to sick children. Eighteen percent take annual leave - or simply call in sick.

Security companies they use their provident Fund to cover it and I don't know if its legal.

Private Companies.

1. Save up enough money to cover your salary for 3 months (or more). If you can’t then you can’t afford to have a child. 2. You can also claim UIF when on maternity leave which helps. 3. Family responsibility leave days are fine as is. I’ve seen way too many people abuse it.

Perhaps Sunday Times can run an informative piece that explains to small business owners exactly how they should budget for full maternity and paternity benefits, and how they should pass that on to their price conscious customers ?
