As the title suggest my wife and i have a concern about the new bill that the senate has passed regarding the maternity leave.
My wife and i are contractual worker under a company, she just delivered our baby via cs few days ago and she's on her maternity leave now. We we're told that he maternity leave isn't paid by the company. The only payment/benefits she has received was the SSS matenity benefits. Some of our colleagues said that we should/could receive seperate pay from our company itself excluded from the SSS pay.
My questions are.
Would her maternity leave and my paternity leave days be adjusted (i have 7 and she has 78) because of the new bill passed?
Should she be paid with her leave even if she's not a regular employee?
Thank you for your future responses
P.S: Sorry if i'm all over the place with this, this is my first post and i really am not that to familiar with the existing Maternity Laws and the New One.
