I didn’t have much leave back when we had kids, but there’s definitely something. Complicated but something.
My reading is one law requires up to 8 weeks protected unpaid for both men and women, except you can use vacation. Protected as in they can’t fire you.
And another provides for paid time for that and other medical or family needs. I really don’t understand the distinction except there are different eligibility requirements and companies are allowed to provide for paid time outside this program
Through PFML, if you work in Massachusetts you’re likely eligible to take up to 26 weeks per year of paid, job-protected time off from work when you need it most, so that you can focus on your health and the health of your family.
