My company added 16 weeks paid maternity/paternity leave. Of course, that was after I had my kids, but still. A great step forward and for my field, it's industry-leading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woohoo-my-work-just-announced-4-weeks-of-100-paid-maternity-leave#post-2474242 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 11:48:44 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2474242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is a fantastic step in the right direction... that's awesome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woohoo-my-work-just-announced-4-weeks-of-100-paid-maternity-leave#post-2474237 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 11:48:16 +0000 Alivoo01 2474237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woohoo!! My company just modified our FMLA/Maternity leave policy too and it's freaking awesome!! Especially for a privately held company! Yay for companies making great advances in this area! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woohoo-my-work-just-announced-4-weeks-of-100-paid-maternity-leave#post-2474131 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 11:22:02 +0000 BSB 2474131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice!</p> <p>My company added or adjusted (in our favor) something pregnancy/parenting related while I was on maternity leave. I forget what it is. Maybe paid paternity leave or more adoption coverage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woohoo-my-work-just-announced-4-weeks-of-100-paid-maternity-leave#post-2474099 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 11:14:03 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2474099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woohoo-my-work-just-announced-4-weeks-of-100-paid-maternity-leave#post-2474034 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:54:57 +0000 psw27 2474034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>awesome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woohoo-my-work-just-announced-4-weeks-of-100-paid-maternity-leave#post-2474032 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:54:14 +0000 MrsSCB 2474032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awesome! We still rely on STD. Although the company pays for the STD so that's a plus -- but it only pays 70 percent salary, not 100 percent :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woohoo-my-work-just-announced-4-weeks-of-100-paid-maternity-leave#post-2474024 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:52:25 +0000 yoursilverlining 2474024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is awesome (which is kind of sad to say, really, considering mat leaves in the rest of the world. But none-the-less - - very cool!)</p> <p>I hope more companies start doing this. It's not really a ton of money out of their pocket and I think it will become a strong benefits package differentiator. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woohoo-my-work-just-announced-4-weeks-of-100-paid-maternity-leave#post-2473991 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:43:02 +0000 avivoca 2473991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woohoo-my-work-just-announced-4-weeks-of-100-paid-maternity-leave#post-2473983 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:40:36 +0000 snowjewelz 2473983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazing!

It's definitely more than a lot of people in the US get.</p> <p>We used to only have 12 weeks of FMLA. If you wanted to get paid you had to use STD, vacation, and sick leave. </p>
