Hello Ward!
Amazing, that discussion has already been had here ... my
very wife was in such a program for close to 10 years
where she was paid as a stay-at-home mam.
Your income to support her wasn't good enough?
Why do I need to support a female? Are you still at the
"Daddy brings home the bacon" level? That's pre-historic.
Some companies in Canada do offer a maternity leave and
compensations. The gov't does too - for up to 6 months if I
recall, or even up to a year.
Paternity leave is also now a thing.
Here in Canada there are clever persons just fine with the
gov't supporting their predicaments as unwed/single parent, no-
income, etc.
The system is pretty straightforward. [...]
[...] When the stay-at-home person returns to the
job, the fill-in person has had the opportunity to get
work-experience and stands a better chance of applying for
a job ...
Some people call it a win-win ...
Some of the new dads or mams don't even bother returning to
their previous employer, and basically run with the money.
I was asked by a previous employee to keep her on the payroll
long enough so that she could qualify for the minimum 52 weeks
of employment when I bought a business in which she was
previously employed. She got her gov't-paid maternity leave,
so did her partner, and she never returned to work (either it
was her choice or simply a logistical matter after she had
moved to be closer to her mother). It wasn't a win-win for me
at all.
Enough to know that regular consumption is not good for the
body.
Canadian beer is very good at cleansing the urinary tract.
Yeah.. perhaps that is needed to remove the sludge that your
altenative beers create.
