Katie Hopkins: 'Why Maternity Leave Should Be Cut To Six Weeks'

She's at it again. Prodding and poking, creating a stir, provoking a response. Who are we talking about?

"People tell me that the government shoulders the cost of maternity leave, but this is a nonsense. You have to pay for a temporary replacement to take her role and you have to pay a recruitment company to find someone to fill that role.

"Your clients wonder where your employee has gone and who the hell is looking after them anymore, and you have to spend time training up a new member of staff that you never wanted to have to do. I am seething with rage about it.

"If you find out you are pregnant you simply hop on-line and print off pages and pages of 'The Things You are Entitled to When Pregnant'. These include paid time off to attend antenatal and relaxation classes.

"I took just two weeks maternity leave after the birth of each of my three children. I recognize that maternity legislation has gone too far. Women are effectively legislating themselves out of the game. "

Well now! What do YOU think of Katie's views? No swearing, please. This is a family site.
