shared parental leave
Hi there, anyone here knows anything about how the shared parental leave goes about? I need some advise here. As I am going to take my ML for 2months and 2 weeks only. And come back to work. As i worked only for 6 mths with company.. I was 6 weeks pregnant when i started my job at the company i'm currently working with. Would like to hear from you mummies...
I am not sure if you are local but for a Singaporean-born baby, the mother is entitled for 16 weeks (8 weeks paid by company, another 8 by government). If 2.5 months I am not sure how your company is going about that. It sounds like an under table deal. Honestly most companies would refrain from hiring pregnant women because they need to pay your salary while you are on maternity leave, but your company hired you anyway in return of the cut maternity leave. Shared parental leave is completely another matter. It’s about sharing your leave entitlement with your husband.

(If you & your company agree that they employ you in exchange for less leave, that is between u & company. If not, u can fight for your full 16 weeks.) In this 16 weeks, you can transfer maximum of 04 weeks to your husband. So means u will have 12 weeks & he a total of 06 weeks.

It has nothing to do with whether you are preg or not when you joined the company. Please make sure you are fairly treated by the company.
