Baby Bonus

As a owner of a Small Enterprise company, I do concern about the BB - Baby bonus that announced on the National Rally that the maternity leave will extend from 12 weeks to 16 weeks. Four months!!! Though, the government will pay for the 8 weeks but I think most of the SME with less than 10 employees will be facing short handed. Unlike the MNC where they have more staffs to share the work load and also they can afford to employ contract/temp worker. As for small company usually just handful of employees and if one go for 16 weeks leave, the poor co worker will be over loaded. It'll be good if the government can also pay for the contract/temp workers on behalf of the company till the staff return from maternity!!
