This is by law. Company must give if the husbands meets all crireria.

we all shall test the law next jan

 

[portia3]

The 1 week of paternity leave will be funded by the Government (capped at $2,500 including CPF contributions).
think company wont give man who income is much higher bah anyway it is still new so best is check with HR

bo hua to the company

Company still has to give if his salary is more than $2500.

 

[PTB7674]

if its law, company have to give.
where got say don't give

i still believe got loop holes somewhere

 

[DollyL]

1 week salary > 2500 = high flier

 

[DollyL]

If one week paternity leave govt value at $2,500, which means your husband must be making more than $10,000 per month to make it bo hua for the company to offer paternity leave.

 

[PTB7674]

1 week salary > 2500 = high flier

singapore need to have > 5000 per week then high flier ...

> 2500 = the squeeze middle income niah

that is what my BIL said he dun have paternity leave when his daughter was born on 1st may 2013 so i reckon it is because of super high income

 

[DollyL]

even if he earn $10K a week, government also have to give la.
simple as that

 

[portia3]

1 week salary > 2500 = high flier

Govt will reimburse company up to $2500 capped with cpf contribution. Technically, it is enough to cover the salary of person earning $8600 per month + 16% employer cpf. If the person earns more than the amt, the excess loss in salary paid cannot be claimed from govt. However, company must still give full 1 week paternity leave base on law.

 

[sunflower307]

[preciousgal]

how much is his consultation adn scan

 

[portia3]

Actually, i still cant post in WTS thread. So doubt I can sell any of my baby shower gift.

But seriously, I will never buy any "pre-loved" milk powder or even cosmestic...

Especially for milk powder which are going into my baby's mouth, I wld not take the risk.

But alas, if people cant sell Brand New items.... then how? Sometimes i saw milk powder selling at $9 or $10 per bottle..... Was thinking, wait till my bb 6 mths... cos it really save alot..... but now...

[DollyL]

[GetawayJunkie]

so mostly is earlier or later than edd?

Dr Tham shared the stats with me before... Something like 70% before EDD, 20% after EDD, and 10% on EDD.

The numbers are something along those lines. His message was, most ppl will give birth before EDD.

Very tough to bargain for 7 days for each child... cos if u hv 3 kids will be 21 days. That is almost 1 month of working days. Plus public holidays of 11 days and yr annual leave of 14 days min to 21 days, we are talking abt paid leave of approximately 2.5 months in a year.

It will be difficult for govt to justify this amount of paid leave to employers unless govt offer to pay which means they up the tax on people.... our tax rate here is 20 % max for high income... this is low by comparison to some first world country.

if u are in some european countries with high tax rates, you can even go on 1 yr ml on partial pay.
