| Good luck tsuffolk. Maternity leave in HK is appalling compared with UK. It's 10 weeks paid leave (at 80%) but international companies may have internal policy which is better than the statutory. You are only entitled to paid leave if you have been with the company for 1 year continuously on your due date (or 'confinement date' as they quaintly call it here). That means you need to have been with them about 3 months before you become pregnant, otherwise you get the 10 weeks unpaid. Luckily, there are laws to protect you and companies can't fire you when you've told them you're pregnant. There is no leave for fathers. |
