[speaker001:] have you finished going through the contract?
[speaker002:] yes, but I have a few questions for you.
[speaker001:] Ok. Ask away.
[speaker002:] first, I 'd like to know if you offer employees sick leave.
[speaker001:] yes, employees can take up to 10 days of sick leave per year. However, in order to get paid, you 'll have to bring in a note from the doctor 's.
[speaker002:] even if I 'm only sick for one day?
[speaker001:] that 's correct.
[speaker002:] that 's pretty strict, if you ask me.
[speaker001:] well, we 'Ve had to add that to the contract because we found that many of our employees were taking almost one sick day a month, even though they weren 't sick.
[speaker002:] I see. I guess that makes sense.
[speaker001:] do you have any other questions?
[speaker002:] yes. Maternity leave is mentioned in the contract, but there 's nothing in the contract alout paternity leave. Do you offer anything to fathers?
[speaker001:] we do actually. We can add that as an amendment to your contract.
[speaker002:] how many days of paternity leave do you offer?
[speaker001:] men are allowed to take 10 days of paternity leave for their first child.
[speaker002:] why are women allowed so much more time for maternity leave?
[speaker001:] well, women are the ones giving birth. I think it 's fair to give them more time, don 't you?
[speaker002:] I guess so. I don 't have any other questions. Should I sign here then?
[speaker001:] yes, please.
