Parental leave

thefasteriwalk · 2021-11-12 16:40:16

Has anyone with a subscription read this article? The opening paragraph refers to 'paid parental leave' and I'm wondering if it's explained later in the paragraph. Or if it's a typo. https://m.independent.ie/opinion/comment/when-it-comes-to-worklife-balance-were-not-taking-full-advantage-of-the-job-share-41039997.html

Maybe the employer has it as a benefit, not a state thing anyway

It'll be related to the company he works for. My other half's company gives 20 weeks parental leave on full pay.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ~C.S. Lewis
