Give key workers coming off maternity furlough or PAID extended maternity leave.
Keyworkers on maternity leave have been overlooked, currently if you are due to come back to a public funded workplace after the paid 9 months you have to either take unpaid leave to take care of your baby or use holidays. I’d like to see maternity leave and pay extended or furloughed.
As a key worker during the pandemic if I go back to work I’m unable to get any childcare, I can’t send my baby to family because of the risk. Im currently stuck in a situation where I don’t have a choice, if I don’t go back we won’t have money to live on, if I do my baby doesn’t have any childcare. This leaves people with only one option and that’s to take unpaid maternity or leave to take care of the child. If you aren’t in a public funded company you get furloughed for childcare, I’d like to see the same for public funded company’s.
