We get six months total, if needed, per pregnancy.

Six weeks paid plus up to 20 weeks unpaid (again, if necessary)

Basics of the policy (how much time, % of salary, who is eligible, etc.)
100% of salary for six weeks. Actually, I've discussed the option of doing four weeks off and then four weeks part-time which my boss is amenable to. Only full-time salaried staff are eligible. We have almost as many interns/part-timers as we do full-time staff. It's difficult to go full-time with my company.

What type of company/industry (name is not needed, but if you want to feel free!)
It's a non-profit...won't mention the industry (you can find that elsewhere on the site if you look hard enough though).

Quote:
Approx number of employees
We have two executive staff members for the non-profit, five full-time non-profit staffers, a bunch of interns/part-timers and like 10 county/state employees working at our site.

We also get paid "Summer Fridays" (six Fridays off, six Fridays half-day from Juneish through Labor Day), plus like 12 Holidays, 12 sick days (which accrue from year to year), 12 vacation days (only five can carry to the next year), 4 personal days plus we get extra vacation days depending on tenure.

So, what's that? Like 10+ paid weeks off per year? We also get 100% of our healthcare premium paid.

If y'all hadn't figured it out by now, I'm at my job for the benefits! LOL! The pay is kinda depressing, but if I tallied up the cost of my benefits, I'd have to make almost $10,000 more just to make up for the lost benefits and break even.
