ID attorneys: what’s your firm’s parental leave policy? My firm gives 6 weeks paid maternity leave and 0 paternity leave. I’m told this is the norm for ID, but that can’t be true in 2022… can it?! 😫What are your firms giving for mat/pat leave?

Attorney3 — I never said anything about “nationwide” (or even a “majority of states”). Instead I said “depending on jurisdiction.” Some large jurisdictions likely have laws prohibiting this. A4 just mentioned Massachusetts, for example.

Nor did I say anything about a law “requiring paid paternity or maternity leave.”

Rather, I said that providing maternity leave but not paternity leave was potentially unlawful sex discrimination. Also, for example, NYC human rights law prohibits disparate impact discrimination, including on the basis of sexual orientation. This policy might run afoul of that.

My firm gives 3 months paid paternity and maternity leave which can be used at any time during the first 12 months after having the baby.

Wow this is really good for ID! Is it a National, regional, or one office firm?

Can you at least take your maximum PTO in lieu of this?

Damn. If it’s totally discretionary have you reached out to HR or a partner to ask how much time you can get off?

🙄

That's a lot of paid maternity leave for what I'm used to

Damn.
