Mothers should get their income tax refunded for the previous 9 months. Easy to adminster and scales to salary
@9WBCNY81mo1MO
No, but parental leave should be available to both parents from their employer based on their current rate of pay, in addition to a universal parental payment system from the government for singles (and additional accounts for couples), regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
@9RN8DTC4mos4MO
Parental leave payments should be payed by the employer at 100% of their normal wage. Should apply to both mothers and fathers
@9GJ9TLM1yr1Y
Parental leave should be higher in all positions, preferably the max amount of money available whether that's the same for everyone or not.
@9DXR7GG1yr1Y
Yes it should be equal to the pay of the parent or carer taking the leave
@9MB2Q2W7mos7MO
Instate a NPTP (Negative Paternal Tax Payment) which pays out a proportional amount based on income during times of Paternal leave.
