- adventured 8y ago> thats simply stupid. Is that really all you have to offer? > So ppl should get children at 50, when they have acruued parental leave The very obvious flaw in your "thats simply stupid" conclusion is incorrectly speculating on how fast I think parental leave should accrue. Why would it take decades to accrue? N months per year, then cap it at a reasonable maximum until or unless it's used, with the accrued time/value persisting (which could have benefits for grandparents, people that adopt at older ages, and so on).
- martin_bech 8y agoI think its funny that ppl (mostly Americans), try and invent complicated new ways of doing things like this, instead of using how 90% of the civilised world does it. Accrued Paid Paternity Leave, wouldnt work because of these reasons. What if you get pregnant "by accident"? What if you want to change jobs/company? What if you get fired? The rest of the world, solves this by having the leave not directly paid for by the employer, but by a fund. This also means that female employees, are more or less "risk free" for employers, as the leave, is not a direct expense. This fund is paid into, by all employers, for about 43USD pr quarter pr Employee. (Danish figures). That small amount means 28 weeks of fully paid paternity leave for all. (After that, you get a smaller amount, based on sallary but capped)
