[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to write my own and then negotiate. Got six weeks paid and a gradual phase in back to full time, splitting my full time hours to have more work from home than before.[/quote] How did you make the case for this? (especially the 6 weeks paid part) I'm assuming you were able to point to some examples from other places? [/quote] I cited progressive state and national policies in other regions. My employer paid slightly under market and had some retention problems, even though everyone who has worked there loved the mission. I made the case about improving retention and also have a detailed personal plan about what work I would do ahead of time and after the leave the make it worth their while. I also had an eager and willing deputy back me up and help shoulder the work. I returned that favor a couple years later when that person had a baby. Good luck![/quote]
