It must be nice for you when not being able to pay twice in the same week to care for your children, or be forced to take the week off of work to care for them yourself an "inconvenience". For some people it would mean losing a weeks pay, taking any vacation pay they were entitled to, or even losing their job for taking a week they weren't entitled to. Does anyone realize that these days, more and more employers don't provide benefits, or paid vacation, or sick days? No one is required to provide these things. If they are, there are ways around it. Hiring all part time employees for instance. The point is, for some it is more than a mere inconvenience, it is a serious financial hardship that might have serious consequences. Yes, contract signed...should have read it. But in the long run, everyone may feel that they should get a weeks paid for not working at all, but no one really deserves it. If that were the case it would be a national law and everyone would get it. As it is now, the people that work the hardest, have to pay for their own daycare, instead of hiring a live in nanny. Better than 50% of the time they probably don't get paid for time off.
