Bill seeks four-month paid maternity leave

All business process outsourcing (BPO) firms in the country should allow at least four months of paid maternity leave to their employees who are working mothers, a lawmaker said on Sunday.

Rep. Mar-Len Abigail Binay of Makati City’s Second District made the pitch in a statement over a BPO firm’s move to increase the paid maternity leave benefits of working mothers.
