My partner is a baker and he has his own bakery. One of the bakers that work for him has a wife who is pregnant. The baby is due in May and the baker is going to take 2 weeks perternity leave as he is entitaled to.

During the 2 weeks he is off my partner will have to cover him and that means going in at 3am and as hes the boss not get home until 5-6pm. My partner has asked the baker to fill out the perternity form and where it says 'the date your leave will start' he has wrote "when baby is born". That means some day in may the baker is going to phone up and say his wife is having the baby and he won't be in for 2 weeks meaning my partner is going to have to start at 3am on short notice. Surely this baker has to give an exact date?

Don't mean to sound rude - but how? Did you know the exact date of your baby ahead of time?

A friend of mine was in a similar situation and his (female) boss kept asking him when his wife was going to have the baby as it was really inconveniencing her not knowing - wasn;t doing much for the expectant mother either!

did you not read any of the comments on the last thread you started with the same OP?

in case you've forgotten, your other thread is here

I must have posted the same thread twice as i didn't know this one exsisted. Sorry about that but surely its obvious as this thread doesn't have a title.

But its nice of you to have posted in the other thread saying there was 2 the same with the same op.
