Quick question for all you gurus!
I've been offered, and accepted, a fantastic new job. Just got the contract and one small issue raises its head.
One of the reasons (the many reasons!) I am leaving my current role is its lack of paid maternity leave. I had assumed that this new role would provide maternity benefit (it was not a deal-breaker), but the contract contains no mention whatsoever of this subject. The company is a respected global multinational.
It provides great detail on pensions/sick leave/holidays, on which they are very generous, so would I be right to assume that no mention of paid mat leave means no paid mat leave?
And, if I did want to confirm this, is it like flying a red flag if I ask the question??
FYI, I have no plans to get pregnant straight away (it was a possibility in the last job, but I would like a good run at this job before planning a family).
Thanks in advance.
