In Canada you can now take 18 months shared paternal leave. First 12 months you are entitled to employment insurance which is a certain percentage of your income. The next 6 months are unpaid. Our recent company ethics training had a interesting scenario on maternity leave discrimination and comments. Some work places if you are key employee in some aspect entice you with pay, more flexible working conditions or provided daycare for coming back early. My company deals with it by hiring contract workers. Some content could take years to learn, so we recently shifted the core duties to remaining members and gave the contract worker remedial/administrative tasks which we all hated any ways. Overall things still function smoothly - however we have an interesting scenario coming up in the next few months where one employee is retiring and two are going on paternity leave (me being one, but only taking a month off using vacation as my wife plans To hog the paternity leave lol... it does make sense financially. It will be interestinghow my company handles losing 3 key members of a 7 person team(atleast I will be gone a month only)
