Flere store amerikanske selskaper, inkludert Netflix, Chipotle og Microsoft nylig begynte å tilby sine ansatte betalt syke og fødselspermisjon. USA er i dag det eneste industrilandet som ikke krever selskaper å gi sykmelding til sine ansatte. 35% av amerikanske arbeidstakere ikke får noen form for betalt sykefravær.

No because salary is the promise of compensation for labor. Anything that is offered to an employee about paid time off should be negotiated up front at the time of employment. If we want equal opportunity, equal pay or any other equality gripe we need to make it all equal. Remove the government and let individuals be accountable and negotiate for it. If there is proven biases between different employees, then allow for intervention.

No, but they should be required to allow that person to resume their position after the event

With in reason. This new thing of giving men 6 months time off for the birth of a child is ridiculous. He is not going to feed it or do what the mother does. Getting sick of this Nanny State Mentality, Participation Trophies,we are becoming a Nation of Wimps and Whiners. Time to grow up and put on you big boy/girl pants and deal with it!

Companies should do what is best for their employees but not at the expense of other workers and the companies mission. Both men and women should get paid time off, but it should become unpaid after 14 days, but employee may return to work after a 3 month sabbatical following the paid 2 weeks. During that 3 months, the employees should be able to keep their insurance in such is provided or structured into their pay.

Yes, lack of paid leave is important to men and women who are working and need the time to help start/help a growing family.

Depends on the size of the business. Small businesses could be financially devastated if they are required to do this.
@3GYXYYV3 år3Y
Yes, but limit the number of days and apply to the primary care giver only. There are voluntary employee pools for extended leaves that have been or can be created if the paid leave isn't long enough. Lack of common sense, lessening of work ethic, ''political correctness' and greed is contaminating our workforce and corporate leadership. A happy, well compensated worker is a much more loyal and productive worker. It's not an us against them, rather a let's get this done together attitude that will create success for ALL.

No, the government has no place in the free market. Allow companies to compete for employees by offering competing incentives, and encouraging transparency of business practices to consumers.

Sick family member, yes. It is unexpected and uncontrolled in most cases. Birth of a child is a choice. If you can't afford the time off, then don't get pregnant.
@3GYPB3H3 år3Y
There should be federal paid leave.
@3GYNF4N3 år3Y
Yes, if the company is a corporation, but no for small business
