Relying on maternity money from a company is really some third world shit. It should be provided by the state. Now the company is welcome to add further compensation and that's a nice perk but it shouldn't be needed.

If the company offers it the company must make good on the promise come time. That's all I'm saying.

Free healthcare is obviously a requirement for civilization, as is maternal leave.

I'm saying that the companies themselves cannot have empty promises like this. The act of conception was at very least influenced by the company's offer of maternal leave.

They should be on the hook - Make good what you have promised.
