What are the perks in PWC?
When is the good time to tell the company that I am 3 months pregnant. My date of joining is 18th of July. I understand by law I need to finish 80days with the company before I avail maternity benefits which I can easily do in next 3 months.
I want to understand if women who go on maternity leave during probation are treated differently or if there will be discrimination once I let them know about my situation. Wipro Accenture Allstate Quantiphi analytics pvt ltd.

It's actually an incredibly generous benefit. I just read it and was surprised, PTO continues to accumulate, full pay and benefits and you can use it for siblings, parents, significant other, etc.
Utilization is also not affected.
I can't tell you what a game changer this would have been when I had to take care of my terminally ill mother my first year out of college. I'm 30 and still having to compensate for that decision and I truly didn't have any other choice than to step out of the work force. Had I had an employer like Deloitte then, it would have made a world of difference. And people say that having women in leadership doesn't change anything!
People seem to be missing the point that it's not 'just' parental leave - the definition is broader and encompasses all situations where you want to take time off to care for a family member / equivalent. Really well done Deloitte!
Seriously that is great news!
I'll never get to use parental leave but this is great should I need it for a parent or sibling.
For everyone except PDM. Yet still sent us the email. "Here is this great thing... But you can't have it." LOVELY.
What is PDM?
As someone looking to start a family in the next 2 years this is a total game changer
You get 1 year paid leave in Canada...
@D1 thank you, it's good to know at least someone understands how we feel. Things like this only seal my decision to leave the firm. So sick of leadership telling us how happy we should be on our track. Meh.
Did she send you a personal email saying why it is ok to treat you like a second class citizen? It looks like it applies to internal people, but not PDM. Very wrong.
Deloitte wins
Simply amazing. I return from parental leave tomorrow...can I extend 8 more weeks?
Women have 6 months total, your body is capable of healing in that time frame, unless you have some chronic illness:
Yeah, exactly. For the people who will have access to this policy, you will be able to finally be a true family member. Very humane.
Yeah that's all crap talk. Try telling your project manager you're taking 16 weeks as a father and you'll be rolled off if not denied, unless you are primary care giver

@D1 hahaha I seriously almost responded to her email saying "soooo I guess we aren't all US employees?".
Yup, Federal. Sorry don't mean to Debbie down everyone!! ☺️
What!!!!! Just used the last of my 3 weeks!!!
Accenture provides 8 weeks as a primary care giver.. I am on parental leave .. Damn.. I should have joined Deloitte
What is a parental leave ? Is it different from paternity/maternity leave?
@A5, this parental leave policy stacks with pregnancy PTO so they get up to 6 full months (28 weeks paid)
