irene, think the benefits will be useful if later on you want to send Joshua to school...
Sporty, that's true... i think I'll just take it all... maybe can take all in 1 lot and go on holiday. Childcare mah, means as long as my children with me then considered I suppose ha ha ha

sporty, true unpaid is good also. That time when Joy was born, my hubby took 3 days of unpaid leave cos he utilised all his leave already. And it took a lot of trouble to get his unpaid leave sorted out. At least now, it will be in the HR arrangement which makes it easier to take if required.

our line is like that. the last time hired a part- timer then the mth before must rush & teach, 2 mths before that must look & hire this person , then come back rush 2 week hand over take over - if the company is so nice to give u 2 more weeks that is & also hire this person 1 mth to 2 week before u go on maternity leave.
Well when is it effective & also is ti for also to be taken within 6 mths? if so hor - i think alot of pple will quit their jobs liao or lose alot of ML. Cos i dont think my company willing to pay me for unused ML either.
some one told me - huh like that ar - looks like policy makers didnt consider pte sector - this scheme 1 more mth works for govt sector & assuming there is spare capacity. pte sector where got spare capacity. The only way around this is - permanently have part timers. ONly this way then it will work out - maybe? dunno. I worry about my report i need to submit this mth 1st ba.

my friend company the HR very evil - told them cos they are executives & management Employment act not considered hor - these guidelines are only mandatory - & new policy came out - must finish annual leave before u utilise your childcare leave. - so gialat ar?
The HR hor is a old lady not married no children no life person - always want to change policies to suit her - i think she will die a miserable death alone one day - in life cannot be so evil lor.

Extended government-paid maternity leave: Maternity leave will be
extended from 12 weeks to 16 weeks for mothers with Singaporean
children born on or after 1 Jan 2009. The last eight weeks can be taken
flexibly over 12 months from the birth of the child, subject to mutual
agreement between the employer and employee. For the first two
confinements, the first eight weeks of maternity leave will continue to be
employer-paid, with the last eight weeks to be funded by the
Government (capped at $20,000 per confinement, inclusive of CPF
contributions). For the third and subsequent confinements, the full 16
weeks will be funded by the Government (capped at $40,000 per
confinement, inclusive of CPF contributions).

OMG can permanently work 4 days a week for mth 4-12! Like that hor - no more promotion liao le work 4 days week - pple will think badly of new mothers.
Previously can get 5-10% increment a yr. - that's say someone earning $2500 hor $1625-$3250 a yr (including 13th mth) - now got more time to spend with children but less $ to spend. hmmmm. so earn around $100-200 less a mth but we DIY teach children at home ourselves?
if someone earns $4K so increament $4200 - 4400 lesser by $160 - $320/mth.
So mothers lose out say the $2500 mother this yr lose out 5% increment say
Yr 1 no increment 2500 ($100 nett a mth - lose out $1200)
Yr 2 increment 2625 (lose our 2756.25 - 2625 = $105 - $1260)
but childcare subsidy increased $150/mth - still win ?

I borrow Mastercard's advertisment - $ spend on this $x but time with your child - PRICELESS!

precisely - if got alot of work -end up waived or cancelled- I in HR - its very luan le - then hor to claim back from Govt - rightfully the staff didnt take the leave & we got paid by govt - wah- encash? What i fear is they tell u BYE BYE hor, just take all the leave to offset hand over & good bye!
I got a better idea.
one day - 8.5 hrs work (for eg)
working hrs 8.30 - 6pm
What if i permanently change my working hours
10am - 5pm? so work 6 hrs a day so leave considered 2.5 hrs a day.
Then day 2 mths worth of ML is 40 days = 340 hrs divided by 2.5 hrs its 136 days - average one mth is 20-23 days say 22 days average = 6mths+ work on new timing schedule?
I think its sounds good le - + hor, pple still see u everyday. can fetch the elder child go cc & go fetch the child come home -IDEA!

personally hor - i rather take whole day leave - who wants to cut short working hrs? esp if they dont need to cook or clean or need to pick up an elder child from nursery/cc home earlier for eg?
Go to work everyday - time spent travelling + cost of transport is still the same -hiaz - govt must be cursing & swearing - give also complain dont give also complain - Well I AM A PROUD SINGAPOREAN -& i like to COMPLAIN! keke! (migration is out for me cos i dont think i like to live in another country - old habits die hard - hb roots too deep in SG soil - too deep even for other countries to earn some tourism $$ from us! ARRGH!)

vic_ma, u veri funny leh abt how to spend e last 8wks of ML. actually, if i can take my last 8wks of ML to work oni 3-4 days a wk, i dun mind, so can bring child to attend enrichment class on weekday. but i tink for my employer, wld prefer u to take e full ML throughout cos it's v.difficult to monitor if u take it flexibly.
singaporeans r like tha, dun give complain, give aso complain, hard to please. kekeke...
i wonder if can take ML to go long holiday??? then no need to consume my AL, can bring forward to following yr. or ask govt to pay tha 4wks of extra ML to my hb's co so tha he can take 4wks of PL to accompany me, for tis, i tink it wld oni happen in my dream world. haha...

jas, congrats on no. 2!
vic ma, I am completely amazed by your assessment ha ha ha. That day my hubby was just telling me probably only one parent can pursue his or her career. The other one will have to take a less glamourous one so someone can be around for the kids like fetching them to see doctor, taking time off when the childcare is closed. Looks like its the women who end up "losing" out.
sporty/915, good luck with TTC!
915, when they cry, its impossible to talk to them. Even for my 3 yr old, she will still keep crying so I just leave her to finish first before talking.

so these little tots they really know how to bully their mummies!
Arielle also hasn't said much except for "apple". She can recognise apples and say "apple" . Dunno when she can start calling mummy.
