Another good pod chaps.
Question about women footballers in regards to mat leave. Surely it wouldn't work, I mean if your striker wound up pregnant then before birth they would have to stop playing (as surely it's not legal to force them to play), and then they have to keep that job open for 12 months and the mother is allowed the job back. Who would feasibly be not match fit, would they have to keep employing them? What if their contract ends half way through mat leave? Would it be illegal to not renew?
It really seems like mat\pat leave just wouldn't work for pro athletes in a contract.
But I could be wrong.
That is an outstanding question. I work in payroll and I have no idea how that would work, but I might just investigate and find out
