Paid family leave policies

Paid family leave policies provide employees with paid time off to care for new children, or to manage family health issues, without losing income. These policies typically cover situations like childbirth, adoption, or caring for a seriously ill family member. The goal is to support work-life balance and family well-being while allowing employees to maintain financial stability during important life events. Coverage, duration, and eligibility vary by location and employer, but overall, paid family leave helps people take necessary time off without severe financial hardship.
