Nope. Not funny. Also wondering why this is a federal govât issue? Plenty of employers offer maternity AND paternity leave even without a national policy. The federal government is not the answer for everything.

I changed topics dude. You do care about actually moms and their children? You know what happens after birth is more important?
Itâs not funny.
Is it a money thing?
Also, people like TravelingcoogâŠ
âwe canât hire people for these wages and benefitsâŠpeople must not want to work anymoreâŠâ
Disagree with these things too ?
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards affecting employees in the private sector and in Federal, State, and local governments.**Covered nonexempt workers are entitled to a minimum wage of not less than $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009. Overtime pay at a rate not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay is required after 40 hours of work in a workweek.
How much time do you need off? Should dudes get 6 months off too?

Yes, I am against a federal minimum wage. Why is it needed? All states have their own minimum wage. Last I looked 30 of them were more than the federal minimum wage. I also believe in letting the market set the wages.

To set a baseline.
The compnay I work for grants 2 months for the primary caregiver, one month for the secondary caregiver, at all full salary. Seems like a pretty good deal.

Thats great for a big company, what about small business. And the dude does not need to be off that long, maybe a week or two

Yeah, can be tough on small business, for sure.
Also, secondary caregiver getting a month is actually growing on me. not only allowing time for bonding, but for both parents to get used to having a/ another child, to be around to help and hopefully stave off postpartum issues (assuming secondary is a guy, which isnât always the case)âŠgrand scheme of things, if I have to choose between making stronger families by giving an extra two weeks, or having them struggle and be distractedâŠgo ahead. Take the time. Bond. Help your child.

Agree. I got to take 2 weeks off when my son was born. We didnât have a policy for it. My boss just said âdo itâ. It worked out great. My wife needed the help. She got an infection.

The baseline should be 0 from the federal level.
