Still Waters Posted April 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2017 British companies are in talks with IVF clinics about offering egg freezing as a perk for female employees. The UK's largest private chain of clinics, CARE Fertility, said businesses are exploring the possibilities. The benefit would allow women in their 20s or 30s to focus on their careers, wait until they meet the right partner, or are financially stable. Apple and Facebook have been offering subsidised egg freezing up to a cost of £16,000 for staff for the last two years. http://news.sky.com/story/egg-freezing-offered-as-perk-to-female-employees-10848413 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast Posted April 24, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2017 A good read to the issue here And it would be of interest to know the employment contract conditions of companies who offer such service to their female employees. Do they have to agree on to not get pregnant within a specific time frame and if yes, do they have to pay back the costs of the egg freezing in case of pregnancy?
