What's maternity leave coverage like at your agency? We get 12 weeks paid but you've gotta dip significantly into your PTO to make it work.

In Canada it is 1 year, divided as you see fit between parents. Another reason besides Trump to move there

@DigitasLBi 1 - yeah it's a combination of sick time (1 week), short term disability (5 weeks), parental leave (2 weeks), and then PTO/FLX making up the rest (4 weeks, or more if you include unpaid leave). Didn't realize how piecemeal it all is until I got pregnant

Yea, the piecemeal set up was a nasty shock when I got pregnant a few years back (working at Ogilvy then). @OP make sure you know what your short term disability entitlement is. My policy only covered 60% of your salary UP TO $1000/week (before taxes). Depending on your salary level that could make a huge difference. Start saving now - you're not buying booze for a while, sock away those funds. :-)

You/we get 12 paid? Or just the option for your job to be held for 12 weeks and you can get paid for some or all based on a combination of sick time and PTO plus some short term disability?

He told my 12 weeks full pay

Guess I shd start asking these questions before getting pregnant. US time off policies suck for ppl having babies

Everyone complains about high healthcare costs in the US. I understand that it’s a complex problem including drug prices, insurances etc. But no one talks about the high physician salaries. Why do surgeons make near a million in the US while they make $250K in Canada?
