I move amendment No. 6:

In page 9, line 2, after "hospital" to insert "or such other date as may be agreed between the employer and the employee".

We tabled this amendment previously because both sides should be able to agree a date rather than the postponed leave being taken seven days after the child leaves hospital. What if the employer wanted to change that? Why not leave it up to the parties involved to decide when the postponed leave will start?
