[quote=Anonymous]Many (not all) employers offer STD policies which generally offer 6/8 weeks of pay during maternity leave. The premiums for this leave takes into account the ages and sexes of employees, thus the "risk" is spread around. Age discrimination still exists. Older candidates tend to be looking for more money than younger ones applying to the same job. Older candidates tend to have a better concept of workplace boundaries that some managers don't like (e.g., it's easier to manipulate a 20-something into staying late into the night to put in "facetime", whereas more experienced employees have been down this road and see that it rarely leads to success, and may have more substantial commitments than happy hour). Some managers are intimidated by managing employees who are quite older/more experienced. Six weeks of paid leave is not going to change this.[/quote]
