[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't Feds get annual and sick leave?  This is all the same pot.

Uh, I take it your employer does not offer maternity leave, paternity leave, or short term disability insurance? Vacation, sick leave, or PTO is not parental leave or STD.[/quote]

Fed here. I think two weeks a year of sick. No maternity/parental leave that is paid. No short term disability. The D.C. Plan looks great as a starting point. Companies can give more if they like. [/quote]

This comes with a new tax on businesses.  Not so much money to give more after the benefits budget is diverted to the tax.

What do Feds usually get for vacation in a year?[/quote]

What does what Feds get for annual leave have to do with this paid family leave? The family leave mandated by this bill is separate from any annual or sick leave employees of private businesses get.

However, for the record Feds in years 0-3 get 13 days of annual leave, years 3-15 get 29, and years 15+ get 25. However, I've yet to meet anyone in the 15 year leave category in the DC area that's still having a baby. It took me 5 years per kid to save up enough annual and sick leave to cover time off after I had kids at year's 5 and 10 into govt service. If I wanted a 3rd, it would take another 5, at which point I'd be 41 and just about to reach the 15 year mark.[/quote]
