Wondering what kind of maternity leave is offered at others place of work?
I work at a small company who recently started offering health insurance. They also recently wrote an employee handbook (after being in business for over a decade). They offer 6 weeks unpaid maternity leave. If applying to FMLA, I know you can get 12 weeks unpaid leave.
I was the 2nd employee at my job (which is predominantly women) to take maternity leave.

Paid maternity up to 13 weeks.

Paid paternity up to 6 weeks.

Both policies are hidden and require inside knowledge to know you have to ask about them to receive the information, let alone request the pay. Legit serious.

My company has leaders who believe if people know we have these benefits available, people will go out and breed just so they can have extra time off. Yes, you read that right. Some leaders in my company think people will take 18 years of responsibility to get 3 months of paid time off.

*sigh*

I’m too sober for that place…

B4 consulting firms offer paid leave upto 6 months and the possibility of extension post that ,which would be unpaid..
