In any event I don't think employers have that much to worry about in this regard. While a vanishingly small number of women may try and game the system and take blatant advantage of maternity rights I doubt it happens that often. In addition, finding good quality staff and hiring in general can be an expensive and difficult process so I suspect if a woman is the right candidate then a decent firm will work with her to accommodate her pregnancy. It's this kind of co-operation which helps bind loyalty to an employer and is to their advantage.
When you are a small firm every quid counts, it is your own money, don/t waste it on con merchants.
The Government pays for maternity and paternity pay, they pay the employers back over 100% of the wage and the employee 90%. Do you want more immigrants to fill our jobs because our indigenous population will no longer breed?
It is not just about money, there is the disruption in your company system, why pay someone to disrupt inconvenience your company.
If you employ a man what is there to stop him from handing in his notice after a few weeks.
A woman can be Pregnant and work for about nine months. Her maternity leave covered by the Government and then she can return to work
Right - it requires additional planning but an employer is is no worse a position. The pay back can be loyal employees who put in the extra mile for the firm.
