Amazon, however, is also adding another feature to its program that appears to be unique. Under its new "Leave Share" program, employees will be able to share all or a portion of the six-week parental leave with a spouse or partner who works at another company but doesn't have access to paid leave.
Say a woman who works at Amazon has a baby and wants her husband to have some time at home with the child, too, but he doesn't receive paid parental leave in his job. She could use all of her maternity leave and two weeks of the parental leave, and then come back to work and "share" the remaining four weeks with her spouse.
The pay for those four weeks that she did not take would then be added to her next paycheck, as long as her non-Amazon spouse affirmed that he does not receive paid parental leave benefits from his employer. Parental leave can also be shared between same-sex partners or adoptive parents. |
