Can you share your firm’s parental leave/pay policy? My firm supplements disability payments (to earn full salary) for six weeks. The rest is unpaid. Is this the norm?

18 weeks fully paid. It can be extended via short term disability and/or unpaid leave.

16 weeks maternity, 10 weeks paternity, all paid.

It really depends. I’ve been at a small firm that offered 12 weeks paid, now in BL with 16 weeks paid, and know of mid size firms that offer only 6.

My firm has 18 weeks. I think it varies WIDELY

12 weeks paid full salary.

4 months fully paid. One additional month unpaid but insurance is covered. One additional month unpaid and you pay your insurance. I think paternity leave is 6 or 8 weeks fully paid.

12 weeks paid is standard, 16 weeks for surgical birth. Additional time off unpaid is available

No paternal leave. I took 6 weeks anyway and got a salary dip. working now to hop back up.
