I love this!
And the fact that most statues are of men only makes this better.
The UK has the worst paternity leave offer in Europe, with only two statutory weeks of leave, paid at £184.03 a week.
In comparison Canada offers 5 weeks guaranteed and 35 weeks that can be shared with the other parent (and 15 weeks guaranteed for the other parent) at 55% of the person's salary...
55% up to an amount, maximum $668 a week, or £370. Still, double what UK gets.
Two weeks is awful for pat leave.
I didn't remember the max without looking
The max is what someone would get if their salary is 63k/year or more to put that in perspective, median income in Canada is about 50k for the 25-34 y.o. bracket
