It's a little hard to explain NL's policy, but basically what most people do (and hilariously what everyone expects you to do) is: - take 6 weeks off (get paid for one) - take one day off a week for the next 63 weeks at 70% pay This is way better than FMLA, and it's also not even close to the best policy in the EU (ex: I think Spain and France give you 16 weeks at full pay).
