The decision includes all leave benefits like one full month paid leave, in addition to 15 days paid sick leave and 15 days unpaid leave. Pregnant women would be entitled to 70 days maternity leave.

Dr. Sayer ROCKS. He is so forward-thinking and trying so hard to do good things for his country. He's also humble and approachable and always happy to say hello to strangers. I really like the guy (AND his wife, Margaret, who founded Bayt Abdullah) and hope that he is given the opportunity to keep up the good work.
