The laws also includes work injury benefits and insurance cover for all workers. Employers have rejected the new law arguing it is a huge financial burden for them

My office gives 6 months maternity leave with full pay and half pay after that
and gives dads 1 month with full pay to dads,,,,

every company has a different policy with regards to this but the fact is maternity leave shd be given or you'd be discriminating against married women with kids
