That's true for every indispensable employee in the eyes of the employer...


Undoubtedly and value to the business can depend on a number of variables which outweighs absence from it for a length of time.

With the rise of remote working in some sectors being physically present in the office isn't as important as it used to be.


But what if the man had no arms or legs, couldn’t see and was deaf, and the pregnant woman had super powers and a cracking pair of tits? Stacking the deck in favour of your argument is easy... :roll:

Sure, in extreme cases the choice is easy.

When there are a number of competing variables finding which should take precedence is obviously harder but it doesn't automatically follow that it should be against the pregnant woman. Hiring doesn't really come down to equal candidates because if that was the case you may as well flip a coin to see who you would choose.

Remote working or work from home (as it is called in my part of the world) is mostly applicable to the IT sector and accountant firms which is a very poor percentage of the total workforce. The business suffers where semi-skilled or non-skilled workers are required.

Does equality of opportunity in the workplace between the sexes intimidate you?


Not especially, and certainly not since immigrants have replaced them as the preferred choice of employers when looking for the cheapest alternatives to British men.

Did you know, an employer can now get an eastern European man, cheaper than they can get a British woman - I know, you would fathom it would you. :shake head:

Remote working has more coverage over here and includes financial services, the legal sector, advertising, tech amongst other professional sectors. Maternity / paternity rights is set against the backdrop of a much bigger fight in the UK relating to flexible working practices (which encompasses remote working). There's a push for employers to offer more work / life balances options in employment and this (maternity leave) is one of those issues where fighting for it can benefit other workers generally. The heart of the issue is dealing with disruption caused by absence and the risk to the business of the employee not returning. Both of these issues can be accommodated by employers.

I take your point about semi / low skilled employment though and the difficulties that can bring as the business has to pick up the slack.

Would YOU as owner of a small business employ a pregnant female who would obviously be taking time off from your small company or actually leaving causing you problems?????


Being a small business owner may do them a favour, as they aren't really out of pocket by that much...


All employers can claim back at least 92 per cent of the maternity pay given to employees.

But employees who paid less than £45,000 in Class 1 National Insurance Contributions last year – likely to be small business owners like you – can actually claim back 103 per cent of the maternity pay.
