When I see photographs of it in darkness I feel that I am watching it sleep, resting in preparation for the people it has to entertain the following day. To me a garden without people is dead, and people have brought The Alnwick Garden to life and restored its soul. -- Duchess of Northumberland. Get Involved.
California's pregnancy disability leave law requires employers to allow employees to take up to four months off for disability relating to pregnancy and childbirth. This leave need not be paid, but the employee may use any accrued paid leave she has available. This leave is not maternity leave.
The 2008 proposal set the maternity leave period at 18 weeks with at least 6 weeks compulsory leave after confinement and an allowance amounting to full salary. The Parliament proposed prolong-ing the maternity leave period to 20 weeks and added 2 weeks of paternity leave under the same conditions as maternity leave.
