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!

I'll never get to use parental leave but this is great should I need it for a parent or sibling.

@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.

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
