[@sandyyeo4238]

I have contacted all three providers of childminding operators, but all three dont have any nannies for me. they are still preparing for launch with no launch date in mind. Infant care centres near my home have no slots too.

Leong PSP questioned whether the Ministry of Education plans to reduce this sorting and alleviate exam-related stress.

In its 2020 Manifesto, WP proposed that retrenched workers receive a payout equivalent to 40% of their last drawn salary for up to six months.

Leong Mun Wai PSP also raised concerns about the Singapore education system’s emphasis on sorting and labeling students, which he believes increases examination pressure on children and parents.

The paternity benefits look pretty good, fathers should be given time off from work to look after their family. 👍

[@KillerRexz]

Even better...what happen after the temp replacement period...terminate pass? Employ them?

Another similarity between PM Wong’s announcement and WP’s proposals is the shared parental leave scheme.

WP also pointed out its 2016 policy paper, in which the party called for the implementation of a Redundancy Insurance scheme

Why increase the number of work pass immigrants instead of allowing parents to work from home and look after their kids?

[@pcaristotle]

Giving a loophole to employers to hire foreign workers instead of raising pay.

[@aaraonhon]

Hard to decide take leave and getting no recognition since not contributing

Parental leaves = ZERO bonus and a PIP.. Practice of ST Engineering and Government linked Companies. Earn Taxpayers money but doesn’t follow National Directives.

WP reiterated this call in its 2020 General Election Manifesto and during the Budget 2023 debate in Parliament.

Supporting parental leave is crucial for building a family-friendly workforce, but let’s also remember the importance of strengthening our local small businesses during these transitions! 🇸🇬💼 By backing homegrown brands, we help create a resilient ecosystem where businesses can manage challenges like staffing gaps while supporting their employees’ needs. Who else believes in investing in our local economy for a stronger, more inclusive Singapore? 🙌✨

[@admin6552]

Right.

[@ECOSAM-SG]

@@martinlee7102 We hear you-supporting both employees and businesses during transitions like parental leave can be challenging, and it’s not always straightforward. However, backing our local small businesses is a way to build a more resilient and adaptable ecosystem where employers and employees can thrive together. 🇸🇬 It’s about creating a community where businesses can support their teams while staying competitive. Let’s keep the conversation going and work towards a Singapore that benefits everyone. Appreciate your honesty! 🙏
