Quote:No one has a problem with leave. I have a problem with the state mandating how much and when someone must pay for leave in the private sector. If I own a business it's up to me to consider the leave package o can offer and who I can offer it too.

 

 

They would only mandate a minimum, you can always offer more to encourage staff to want to join your company.

 

The problem is in low skilled occupations the employer has all the power as people can easily be replaced by another who needs the money. It's not like people can live without a job, so it's not like people are free to leave jobs in many occasions. Didn't your previous employer treat you terribly? Surely you can understand why people deserve a break every now and again, probably would improve people's mental health too.
