Also helpful to add if you are eligible day 1or have to be there a year etc. Ours is 6 weeks (sad) for either parent including adoptive, plus 6-8 weeks short term disability for the birthing person.
@BAH1 in 2009 the total maternity leave that could be taken and was paid (full, or partial) was only 8 weeks? am I understanding that right?
ECG provides 8 weeks 100% paid baby bonding leave for mothers and fathers…I think mothers also get 7 weeks of STD at 100% and another 5 weeks of STD at 60% if they choose. Keep me honest fellow ECG’ers.

Child free people should get a paid sabbatical to compensate for paternity leave
I also feel like having kids is a generic excuse to work less - always. rolling into work at 8:30 because drop off, leaving at 4 for pick up, while the rest of us are still working away. And we just accept this lol.
24 weeks for the mothers, 18 weeks for the fathers, all paid.

52 weeks shared between parents. 39 full pay. Remainder government standard pay.
Accenture UK.
A whole year! Damn. You mean you dont have to breast feed off video on your 7am calls? Shame. Really missing out

16 weeks paid at D.
D18 - no they literally just prorate it for the portion of the year you were out. Before proration it was comparable to what I always get. I get the rationale but feel like it’s still a BS policy. As an SM I had significantly exceeded all my metrics in less than 6 months of work and had an absolute top right corner scatterplot. So it feels like if I got better metrics in < 6 months than many of my peers got for the full year, why should I get less of a bonus due to leave? But I have since come to peace with the fact that some policies are just BS and getting angry about it won’t actually impact anything except my own mental health.
6 months
You must be outside US or misinformed
Bain UK - equal parental leave both 6 months fully paid
6 months
8months
Think you mean weeks **
6 months maternity/primary carer, 3 months paternity/secondary carer
Wow nice
If you give birth, you get 6-8 weeks STD. Then 7 weeks for all new parents on top of that. So 7 weeks for adoptive, nonbirthing parent, etc.
2 weeks. So over USDC.
That is the case for most talent models at Deloitte, but unfortunately employees at our on shore Delivery Centers get treated like second class citizens in this regard. Hopefully it will change soon!
480 days in Sweden :)
Plus the gov gives you a ton of stuff for when the baby arrives in Sweden! Mind you then you leave the baby out in the cold … not joking btw 😄
5 weeks "secondary" caregiver, 16 weeks "primary"
That messed up terminology
18 weeks. After that government of Canada pays around 560 cad per week for a year 👏
4 months paid
My wife gets 7 months at Netflix.
4 weeks paid maternity, I believe... very much considering leaving for another company with better benefits when I get to that point of wanting kids
JLL UK - 6 months full pay for anyone becoming a parent (man women, adopted, whatever) and extra 3 full pay for those that give birth, plus time off for pre and post appointments etc
16 weeks to use over the first year
Well you can add your PTO onto the end at any company so you can’t add that. That’s a different question
