The concern is that there could be a chilling effect resulting in people not taking this leave. If people expect to be fired for using this benefit, they won’t use it.

But the mere PERCEPTION can have a chilling effect. And I have worked with many people who worry about taking this type of extended leave for exactly this reason.
