Parental leave should be for both mothers and fathers. But it should not be based on income, everyone should be paid the same amount.

 @9D9KZBQanswered…3yrs3Y

All mothers should get paid the same unless they are the only breadwinners.

 @9D7QDN6answered…3yrs3Y

Parental leave payments should be based on the needs of the specific person the payment is going to

 @9D7BNHQanswered…3yrs3Y

 @9D6L6R2Greenanswered…3yrs3Y

It should depend on how many children they have and how much of their income previously was going toward supporting their children.

 @9D4TSBVanswered…3yrs3Y

The government can't afford to subsidize the richest mothers who probably least need the money. But the "cap" should be raised somewhat, but the maximum time (unless otherwise agreed between the employer and employee) should remain 12 months.

 @9J78RN2 answered…2yrs2Y

Equal pay rise rolled and unions staff members of careers moves and nurse registration by the start to end of the years reigns supreme

 @9G4QD92answered…3yrs3Y

No, pay mothers to raise their children up to 2 years old which are the most crucial years of their life

 @9F7LSL6Labouranswered…3yrs3Y

Parental leave should be paid or shared between both parents and the leave should be extended to a year

 @9F77YHJGreenanswered…3yrs3Y

parental leave payments should be made as at the wage that they would be missing out on. whether this is the mother or the father taking parental leave.

 @9F6B5HRLabouranswered…3yrs3Y

 @9F3NWF7Nationalanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes but not limited to the mother. It is determined by who is the stay at home care giver.

 @9F3HKR6Greenanswered…3yrs3Y

yes there should be a minimum payout, however those who were extremely qualified and had high wages, should have higher payments

 @9F3HKQXGreenanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but there should be a minimum payout to support those who need it. Nobody should be penalised for success.

 @9DWJM66Greenanswered…3yrs3Y

This question is sexist as it assumes the mother will use parental leave.

 @9FR834Danswered…3yrs3Y

This should be increased on both parents wages combined with equal maternal & paternal leave for up to 2 years per child.

 @9FNGXQVGreenanswered…3yrs3Y

yes, or maybe if they have a higher salary they can chose a percentage or something like that

 @9FND252answered…3yrs3Y

Parental leave should be based on what wage you receive and the increase should come from the government for new born.

 @9FJHB8Panswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and increase the length of the payments and the amount of leave for all mothers

 @9FGNQFSNationalanswered…3yrs3Y

If paid by the employer, they can be paid whatever the employer sees fit.

 @9FDTMTYLabouranswered…3yrs3Y

 @9FDRVYDGreenanswered…3yrs3Y

No, it should be based on a guaranteed universal income and up to employers to choose whether to further incentivise or not

 @9F9CH2Qanswered…3yrs3Y

Parental leave payments should increase based on the amount of children a cared for, and whether that parent is the sole earner in their family.

 @9DNBMRRanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, however for those who are low income there should be a base which allows for parents to be paid

 @9DG7XFManswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but more important is to improve paternity rights (pay reflecting the father's income and length of time should be flexible to allow at least equal leave to the mother)

 @9D8XSGDanswered…3yrs3Y

yes, It should also be extended to the father if the mother is not eligible.

 @9FXWSRTanswered…3yrs3Y

All mothers should get paid the same amount and that fee decreases after a set number of kids to discourage people from having kids just for the paid leave

 @9FTHLGDNationalanswered…3yrs3Y

Parental leave payments should be made at the wage the parent would be missing out on, whether it is the mother or the father taking parental leave.

 @9FT7ZVHanswered…3yrs3Y

It should reflect their current position but definitely should have a cap which may be significantly lower than what they currently get.

 @9DD7FQ7answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, the pay should match the wage of the mother before going on leave

 @9DBL3XJLabour answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but to an extent, with a cap. If the mother was the primary source of economy for the family, then this should be recognised somewhat

 @98PKXL4answered…3yrs3Y

Mother's expensive is the stay home base with their children and belonging working style is the income can afford most of whanau beging inc

 @9CS57J4answered…3yrs3Y

No. Becoming a parent is a lifestyle choice. If you can't afford it, don't breed.

 @9CTXXGNNationalcommented…3yrs3Y

 @9CHMF4Zanswered…3yrs3Y

Parental leave should be the same amount for all those applying. The amount should be decent for the duration the mother is away so that she is able to have proper time and recourses to nurse her infant.

 @9C2K3PSanswered…3yrs3Y

 @99ZWHQYanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but the time should be increased and the non-birthing parent (e.g. dad) should also get paid parental leave.

Before finding a replacement pay the mother on leave in full, once replacement has been found, reduce to half or not depending on the circumstances of the mother (conceived with twins, has a working partner etc.) and the business size

 @8F62G6Yanswered…6yrs6Y

 @8DQT7BLanswered…6yrs6Y

 @8DMZRQKanswered…6yrs6Y

Parental leave payments should be based on the income of whichever parent is going on leave and fathers should be encouraged to take paternal leave.

 @8DH93QManswered…6yrs6Y

Yes, and we should bring in a partners leave to incourage familys to be involved the the firsts days of a child life

 @8D5NMLXanswered…6yrs6Y

 @9CRL78RLabouranswered…3yrs3Y

No I believe it should be percentage based eg all receive the equivalent of 60% of their normal income

 @9C9GM9Tanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes but the employer should pay the difference between the minimum provided by government (which should inrease with inflation each year) and the employees normal salary

 @9BN2Z3Hanswered…3yrs3Y

All parents who take leave to support their new baby should get the same amount whatever their gender

 @98KKR5Zanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but the leave payments should increase for the birth giver, not necessarily mother as this rules out gender diverse parents, and we should also increase the equal pay amount and duration of leave as well

 @8HYVM8Fanswered…6yrs6Y

I would like it to include fathers, especially if the mother is currently not working

 @8GKYVR6answered…6yrs6Y

 @8GKJ26Sanswered…6yrs6Y
