Parental leave is paid. If they can't survive 6 months unpaid leave from a worker, then they got a problem. The system with paid leave works fine in all of Scandinavia so how could unpaid leave not.
- Waterluvian 8y agoPaid by the employer or by the government? In Canada I get leave but I get paid by the Employment Insurance program (tax). Interestingly it caps off meaning lower income people might get 100% of their salary while I'd get like 30%.
- metaphor 8y agoIt takes ~9-1/2 months to have a baby; that's a huge planning and coordination window. What would that minimum window look like to my hypothetical employer if I decided on a whim to start a business tomorrow?
- Ma8ee 8y agoWe only need to tell the employer 3 months before the planned parental leave though.
- detaro 8y agoYou don't need to tell your employer that you need parental leave on the date of conception. similarly, you can't just take this business leave by saying "I'm not coming in next week!". The notice period is actually longer than for parental leave.
- jfries 8y agoIn Sweden, you need to tell the employer about the plans to take time off for starting a company 3 months before. That's on par with parental leave, where it's not uncommon to tell the employer 3 months before the delivery.
