[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While reading the other maternity benefits topic about why women in US are not fighting for paid maternity leave and such...

Many women said they are not fighting because they are not CEOs, they only have one vote, they have no power, etc.

[b]But how about your own employees? How common is it to pay maternity leave for nannies? Cleaning ladies? Tutors?[/b]
You have all the power to make that decision, right? Theoretically you can continue paying your tutors, cleaning lady, etc for first 12 weeks after she gave birth.

How many of you do it?

And if you don't, do you have the moral right to demand benefits from your employer that you deny your own employees?

Are there THAT many people that have their own employees?  Sometimes this board makes me feel very poor!
Our DD is in daycare.  We can't afford a cleaning lady - I handle all that work myself.  Our daycare does provide [b]some [/b]coverage for maternity leave.  Nearly identical to what I was given at my very white-collar job, actually.[/quote]
