Lin Yumei now can take good care of two children at home while working in the company's factory. "I had been looking for job opportunities for more than a year. Usual factory work demands long hours of attendance, while the service sector like restaurants has a conflicting work schedule with parenting time," said Lin.
A "mother post" in her current work at Zhongshan Richsound Electronic Industrial Ltd., however, allows the mother to leave at around 4:30 p.m., the right time to return home and prepare food for her children.
Considering emergencies in need of temporary leave, the company also trains part of the staff to fit various positions. Whenever mothers ask for days off, relevant competent staff can help complete their work on time.
