[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About Canada: the "paid" maternity leave is actually a stipend that maxes out, and for professional women it maxes out well below their salaries--for these women, the US short-term disability would probably be a better deal. In addition, layoffs of women just returning from mat leave are reportedly common (no solid data here, but a friend in Canada faced this situation and fully anticipated it based on what she's observed before delivering.) Also, paid family leave represents a step away from "equal pay for equal work". In the fed system (without paid family leave), family leave is taken as a combination of earned sick leave, earned annual leave, short-term disability if applicable depending on the type of delivery, and unpaid leave. [/quote] Yep in Canada it’s a fixed amount you get if you’ve worked and paid taxes long enough-kind of like unemployment benefits. [/quote]
