Are you talking parental or full maternity leave?

At Deloitte 2 years ago, I had 22 fully paid weeks as the birthing parent/primary caregiver.
At KPMG, we have 4 weeks prior to birth (use it or lose it), plus up to 14 weeks after fully paid. Up to 24 weeks total, but the remaining 6 weeks are unpaid.

Top 10 is a joke. They must take donations for the rankings. KPMG is also in the middle of a huge gender discrimination lawsuit and still makes those rankings. Someone has their head in the sand when they publish those lists

Deloitte has 16 weeks for new parent (birthing, non birthing, adoptive). If you’re birthing parent you can take an additional 8 weeks of supplemental short term disability (inmost states, I think) for a total of 6 months.

PwC gives 8 weeks. I have friends who work at EY and they get 16. How is there such a big difference between policies? It’s kind of embarrassing consider PwC pushes the whole “be well, work well” thing so hard.

Everyone is the primary caregiver! I think it’s so strange the firm makes people pretend to be a primary caregiver just to get the time. A guy who works for me is playing that game after his wife’s leave is up. I don’t really care but why not just give everyone the same allotment of time? Easier (and fair!) to all IMHO.

KPMG is 6 weeks paternal if spouse is working. If not it is 2 weeks. Most spouses dont work for a while I think. I think which one you get is office culture unless you make a case that they have to go back for work.

Paternal leave at kpmg is garbage compared to the other B4

this may be a dumb question,but are your weeks paid?

Indeed a dumb question

OP: The answer at EY is 12 too many for non-birthing mothers! Lol

That does seem really short.....is that maternity leave or just paternal leave.

16 males and females

16 at ey for primary caregiver

That’s the problem. People are taking turns over who claims to be the primary caregiver- like it’s a game of tag. Just make it consistent for all.

16

At PwC maternal you get 16 weeks and you can use your vacation (additional 4 1/2 weeks) when you return you work 60% of the time for 100% pay for 1 month.

6 weeks short term disability, 8 weeks parental, 2 weeks prior to due date, but if baby comes early you lose it. Then you are able to use vacation, then take unpaid. When you do come back it’s 100% pay for 60% hours for first 4 weeks back.

Let’s not lose sight of how much the non-parents have to pickup the slack of new parents. I think we can all agree that it’s a balancing act- we sure don’t want to go Scandinavia-style and give a year or two!!!

Unfortunately 😕 Which is why I'm very glad to see more companies providing better leave policies. But like healthcare, parental leave should never be tied to a job.

Well if it’s not, then it’s tied to higher taxes. We do NOT want that!!!!

How do you usually ask for PTO? I have the days accrued but I have PTSD from a past job about asking for time off. I’m wanting to take 5 days in June for a family trip and know I need to put in the request to the partners I work for sooner rather than later. I had to take a day this last week and they were great about it (immediate “Yeses”) but somehow, asking for a week feels like a hurdle. (Also, I’m only 7 months in, haven’t met the partners IRL, and we only really communicate via email)
