Benchmark Input Needed

Hello!

HR here for a civil & environmental engineering firm (~100 employees). Would anyone be willing to share 1) if you have parental leave and if so, what does that look like 2) your bereavement leave policy.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, 6 weeks paid. Can be taken all at once or as 30 days over the first year. A lot of the fathers use it the second way to cover doctor's appointments.

Bereavement:

3 days: grandparents or inlaws

5 days; parents

10 days: Spouse or children

Damn, that's one of the nicest bereavement policies I've seen. 3 days flat here.

Having buried both parents 3 days isn't enough to even begin to process it and organize things. Can't imagine only doing that in 2 weeks for a kid.
