I’m wondering what small and midsized firms are doing for a maternity/paternity policy? We are looking to add a mid to senior level attorney to our practice and they asked about our policy.

Above and beyond PTO - having a baby is not a vacation. 3-4 months paid will be standard for parental leave at most firms. Some states will have regulations for minimums regarding paid or unpaid time beyond FMLA.

If you’re a small firm it certainly can be tough to maintain client coverage, combined with the loss in revenue while maintaining the same payroll expense. That being said, turnover is costly too and it can make strategic hiring more difficult if your policy isn’t comparable to firms in your market.

Thanks. Very helpful info.

12 weeks paid for maternity and paternity, and it also applies to staff.

We do twelve weeks fully paid maternity. Haven’t yet but we need to have a parenting leave policy as well

16 weeks maternity, 2 weeks paternity

Is that 16 weeks paid?

Thanks for the responses so far. Is this above and beyond PTO or do they have to use PTO as part of this?

Hey AIR team,
How do you confirm a company that approaches you from Europe is legitimate? I have a media company from Turkey asking me to quote some animation for them. They have a website, have given their address (which is an actual address on google maps), and have given phone numbers which I haven't tried yet. I have let them know that if we work together, I'd require 50% up front, 35% midway and 15% before delivery of final elements and they say they're fine with that. Anything else?
