The government pays the benefits, not the company. So it is 'amortized across the entire society' in Canada. This Microsoft/Netflix way of doing it themselves

The government pays the benefits, not the company. So it is 'amortized across the entire society' in Canada. This Microsoft/Netflix way of doing it themselves is silly.

How does it work in Canada with respect to your salary. Is it a fixed amount for everyone? Or does it match your salary?

  55% of your salary up to a maximum of CAD$524.00 a week for 15 weeks.

    15 weeks? you mean 50.

    Interesting. The way to go as a parent then is to to live somewhere cheap away from the city where 524 a week goes further, and make sure you have a job just before giving birth.

      You have to have worked for 6 months prior.

        That's not much of a catch. Think about it. 9 - 6.
