Curious what other people's parental leave looks like for companies of a similar size and industry. We are about 150 employees in the CPG (beverage) space. We want to improve/expand our paid leave. How much paid time do you give your employees? Do you give the same amount for the primary and secondary caregiver? Please include your company size and industry.

We are a ~55 people software development consulting company in NYC. We provide 12 weeks parental leave no matter who you are. We believe there is no primary or secondary caregiver. Every parent is an equal caregiver.

Financial - 100% pay - 12 weeks primary / 4 weeks secondary (Paternal leave) - 2,000 employees.

When I worked at Nestlé (~25k USA) we had 6 months leave for primary.
18 months fully paid leave for primary, FMLA for rest.
3 or 4 weeks fully paid for secondary care.

My particular division would send a giant basket with all of the gerber goods since we owned them. We also send a gift card from their registry per policy.

I looked into this about 2/3 years ago when we were looking to update our policy. Atleast as off that time, some of the ‘best in class’ were between 20-24 months for primary, a SHRM study had found that 60% of employers have 12 weeks, 33% more than 12 weeks. Some companies also allow certain weeks where employees can come in part time as a way to ease back in to work.

we are in public accounting in the northeast. we are about 200 employees. we offer 8 weeks of full maternity (1st caregiver), 2 weeks of full paternity (2nd caregiver) and a 30 day transition period where the primary caregiver can work 20 hours a week but be paid for 40.

I should clarify- when I say "full" I mean 100% paid

Publishing/Media ..125 employees 16 weeks primary caregiver/4 weeks secondary caregiver.,for primary caregiver the first 6 weeks is covered by STD that pays 70% of weekly wage then we supplement the 30% to make them whole. Company salary continuation is 10 weeks + 6 weeks STD = 16 weeks, which does not include NYPFL if they want to use that.

In the CPG space, under 100 employees.

Primary: 8 weeks, 100% paid
Secondary: 3 weeks, 100% paid

like

14 weeks full paid maternity leave for the primary caregiver (they can opt for 28 weeks at half pay), and 2 weeks paid leave for primary caregiver.
In total the primary caregiver can take 1 year of leave, with the remaining 38 weeks being unpaid.

like

100% Paid Leave - 16 weeks, 8 is FMLA - 8 is Primary Caregiver. - Secondary Caregiver is 8 weeks.

I’m dense? You’re on maternity leave and you decided to pick a fight with a stranger on the internet. And I’m the one who’s dense? Your baby needs you.

Also in CPG beverage industry, ~7k employees

Primary: 18 weeks 100% paid with option to take up to an additional 8 unpaid. We also offer a phased return option in those last 8 weeks.

Hello Fishes,

I have 2 offers in hand currently -
1. CGI - 25LPA +1L JB
2. Neev systems - 23LPA (5%VP)

Neev systems is ready to negotiate it with CGI. And both companies have their own benefits.

Neev's hike is good compared to CGI(almost double) & CGI have some additional perks like cab facility, Creche allowance, mobile, internet bills reimbursements and additional 5% shares.

Both might have similar WLB (12-9pm).

My DOJ is tomorrow, unable to decide between them. Pls help me!!

Hello!

Any advice on how to request a 20% raise? This is my first career out of college. I signed my offer letter knowing that I was being underpaid by 10%, as per the posted position salary. My 1-year appraisal is close and I would like to request 20% based on an increased workload; I would also like to make up for being underpaid my first year.

My dilemma: Many companies only pay up to a 4% raise. However, that will not cover much in this economy, and I would still be still underpaid.
