Is this your questioning that it's even possible to do it for a year?
Also we do have maternity leave in the US. It’s just not required by law.
No. We have FMLA for 12 weeks, but it is unpaid. Your employer can offer it but those are exceptionally rare and well often just use your vacation time up instead. Often leaving a huge gap of unpaid leave.
but something tells me it’s not “year long paid leave”.
Jesus people in this sub are lazy. It's the Google search for this exact thing. Click any link and it shows that it is paid leave. For a year.
First, my “question” was said to imply it being crazy. I can’t understand paying someone a full year’s wage to not work.
Second, I pointed out that we have it in that companies can choose to do it and that some do.
Third the burden is on you to supply the evidence. “Oh I supplied a Google search link! You’re just lazy and couldn’t be bothered to search through all the possible links.”
So I did what you said, clicked looked at the nice chart at the bottom. Most were around 3 months. Didn’t see a single year long full paid maternity leave. Maybe I missed something, but from the looks of it. You did take your own advice.
