- naet 3y agoSorry yes, California EDD is the California state government agency/department you mentioned. They manage payments and benefits for unemployment, disability, and Paid Family Leave (PFL), the last of which is paid time off from work you can take when you have a new baby. I think they also manage some statistics and data around employment disability etc. PFL in California guarantees the state will pay you something like 70-80% of your typical wages, for up to 8 weeks, while you take time off to bond with and care for your baby. There is no guaranteed paid paternity or maternity time in the USA so I am lucky to live in a state that offers this. You may view this program as either generous or paltry compared to your own countries offerings.
- averageRoyalty 3y agoYes, that is paltry compared to most countries offerings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_leave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_leave Thank you for clarifying though.
