Need your opinions. Wife is currently 14 weeks pregnant and I’m expecting a job offer in the next week or so. Do I sign and accept an offer and then tell them about needing to take paternity leave once I begin or do I discuss this before I accept? Not wanting to start off on the wrong foot but don’t want to risk any potential offer

Do not say a thing until your offer is in your hands. Companies are not supposed to discriminate because of family obligations, they do!

If you needed leave within the first few months I’d say something, but given you have more time I wouldn’t sweat it. You should find out about benefits before signing tho. If you don’t qualify for leave for a year but want to take it, I’d try to negotiate something in advance. I’ve always let employers know about big planned vacations when I take a job so I get at least verbal approval even if technically I may not have the time off accrued. By the time they are presenting an offer they don’t want to rescind it over something that minor.

Thanks. 6 weeks paid leave after 90 days. I’ll be employed for about 120 days before needing to use any time off (last kid I took 2 weeks)
