Has Chloe Everton left QVC?

[hamster007]

I've not seen Chloe for a while, has she left QVC?

Chloe is on maternity leave, her wife had their second baby a few months ago.

How does that work then ? My dad along with thousands of others certainly didn't (or wasn't entitled) to weeks off. Mum gave birth and he had the day off then it was back to work.

So, is Chloe taking the woman's prerogative of taking months off too, like her wife ?

I don’t know how this all works with 1001 different genders, but I thought UK paternity leave was 2 weeks and maternity leave was 52 weeks. Does that mean if it’s two Dads they each get two weeks and if two Mums they each get a year? I get sooo flipping confused with all the gender malarkey.

The law for 52 weeks applies to the person who has had the baby. The 2 weeks to their partner. I don't believe gender is even mentioned. That's a statutory minimum, but employment contracts/agreements may offer more. I think QVC presenters are self-employed, and often have flexible terms etc.

Maybe she’s taken unpaid leave, she’s not there is the main thing

Must be unpaid leave. She can't be on maternity leave.

She can take time off, but she won't be paid.
