My company laid off 2 people whilst on maternity leave and being a mostly remote company, my coworkers were in different states.
The one in California sued and got a decent amount from the lawsuit. However the one in Texas didn’t see as bright of an ending.
Maternity leave needs to be protected federally, as right now I think only a handful of states have laws protecting employees on maternity leave.
FTFY, why shouldn't we try to have both parents around while we're at it.
At least 1 month off for both parents immediately after (maybe some weeks before?) birth. Then 1-1 year for each parent.
Sounds like I'm already in the right country then.
I based mine off a hazy recollection of what I heard of Germany.
