Re: Abolish statutory and exgratia redundancy payments
MOD NOTE: These OT posts have been split from the Abolish Redundancy thread.
Maternity leave is not a forced payment. I have never worked anywhere that women are paid maternity leave and neither has my wife. We are due our second baby in 4 weeks time and will see a significant drop in net wages over the next 6 months.
What makes my blood boil is that the government only sees fit to pay non public-servants €600 per week but civil servants are paid their full wages during maternity leave.

I agree that redundancy can be a problem, especially for small companies. As is maternity leave and all other forced payments that employers must make to employees who aren't working.
