Something to keep in mind on the maternity leave front…

Most short term disability insurance actually covers maternity leave for about 6 weeks. It’s really easy for employers to make sure this is part of their benefits package these days.

While that might seem generous in the US that is not universal and still woefully minimal. All fathers in Canada are entitled to a minimum of 5 weeks of leave let alone the maximum of 18 months leave mothers

I understand. I just mention it because many small business don’t have the cash reserve to offer anything if insurance doesn’t provide it.
