Ask HN: What companies offer maternity/paternity leave immediately?

11 pointsby jagtstronautover 1 year ago
I have observed that most companies don&#x27;t offer their leave benefits until you have a year of service at the company. Also, companies don&#x27;t really advertise the specifics of their policies publicly.<p>What are some companies that offer leave before you hit that year tenure for both maternity and paternity?<p>EDIT: I meant the US when asking this

In Norway, the parental leave is managed by the state so it’s not up to the company. The state will pay your salary, up to a limit. Some companies will pay the difference.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tekna.no&#x2F;en&#x2F;salary-and-negotiations&#x2F;employment-law&#x2F;parental-leave-in-norway--what-you-should-know&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tekna.no&#x2F;en&#x2F;salary-and-negotiations&#x2F;employment-l...</a><p>Please note that you need to work during at least 6 of the last 10 months before the parental leave, which isn’t great. But you get 49 weeks of parental leave, which is great.

Presumably they are hiring someone because they have an immediate need and wouldn&#x27;t be too happy if said new hire went on leave leaving them in the exact same position with the added &quot;benefit&quot; of having a new, non-productive person on the payroll.

This spreadsheet was pretty good. Not sure how up to date it is though. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;spreadsheets&#x2F;d&#x2F;1GKWqhc3FVtSVKRZNBxyfwZ_QrB1f-i1T0-yBJ6X_YHM&#x2F;edit#gid=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;spreadsheets&#x2F;d&#x2F;1GKWqhc3FVtSVKRZNBxyf...</a>

Which country? I believe it&#x27;s regulated by law of the country

It’s not done because people like you would specifically join with the intention of claiming the salary and then running away.<p>There’s literally no reason you would need this except if your intention is to immediately claim the money.

I know Bandwidth offers a reduced leave if you have under a year of tenure and Celonis offers full leave day 1, but I wondered if there were others.

Another perk to consider are companies that offer on site day care.<p>Really a game changer knowing your day care is handled.

Meta does and I’d assume other faangs as well
