paid parental leave

Paid parental leave is a workplace policy that allows new parents to take time off after the birth or adoption of a child while still receiving a portion of their salary. This leave enables parents to bond with their newborn or newly adopted child and manage the initial transition at home without the added stress of lost income. The duration and pay percentage can vary by country and employer, with some places providing generous benefits while others offer limited time off. Paid parental leave supports family well-being and can improve employee retention and satisfaction.
