✍️ New Blog Post: Should Company Parental Leave be Equal for Birthing and Non-Birthing Parents This month, we published a blog post exploring whether companies should offer equal paid parental leave to both birthing and non-birthing parents. Some high level takeaways: ✔️ Equal parental leave is essential for fostering inclusivity and gender equality in the workplace. ✔️ While cost can be a concern for smaller companies, maximizing state programs can help offset it. ✔️ It’s important to distinguish between the need for medical and bonding leave for birthing parents, who require additional time to recover from giving birth. We’d love to hear any thoughts that you have on the topic! Read the full post here: https://lnkd.in/gMfTdVae

📢 Important California Leave Law Updates for 2025! As we approach 2025, a new change to California PFL laws was annouced: ✔️ Starting next year, employers will no longer be able to require employees to use up to two weeks of vacation before receiving PFL benefits. ✔️ However, employees can still use vacation time to supplement PFL and receive full wages, including coverage under San Francisco’s PPLO. ✔️ This change could reduce companies’ contributions to employee leave while simplifying benefits deductions during PFL.

📰 Important leave law news from California! Starting in January 2025, California’s paid leave laws (SDI and PFL) are getting a major boost. Currently, most workers receive up to 60% of their income, capped at $1,600 per week. This will increase to 90% for those earning less than $60,000 annually, and up to 70% for those above that threshold. With a median wage of ~$54,000, many Californians will greatly benefit from this update. For new parents, it might make sense to delay baby bonding leave until 2025 to take advantage of the higher rates (eligible within 1 year of birth).
