If you mean FMLA then keep in mind that's a new development. And as an unpaid furlough of sorts it's only marginally better than nothing.



The “paid leave” money comes from paying you less when you’re not on leave. Little industry secret I guess.


Not true. Well I'm not sure of the US implementation but generally the state pays parental leave. The amount can be tied to a persons salary up to a point. Salary has to be competitive for those that don't want kids anyway.
