[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp who wants equal treatment - I agree that it would be much better if the government paid for leave. But especially in the case of very small employers (1 or 2 employees) I think it is a huge hardship to require them to pay for leave since they will need to pay for replacements in the mean time. In a large company the work likely is just covered mostly by shifting the burden a bit and making do for a bit. [/quote]

+1.  I'm an MB with 3 children, thus have been on maternity leave 3 times.  I've never been paid for maternity leave.  I did, however, continue to pay the nanny her regular salary during my maternity leave because that's the fair thing to do.  If, however, she had a baby, some of you think I should pay her for her maternity leave while simultaneously paying for backup care?  I agree nannies should be treated equally and fairly but paid maternity leave is not common, regardless of the job.[/quote]
What is your field where it's so uncommon?[/quote]

I'm a physician (I work for a private practice) but I have many friends in other fields who also had unpaid maternity leave. [/quote]
