Government-funded paid parental leave would more than double in length, and the amount paid to parents would jump substantially, under new recommendations handed to the federal government.
That is why it should also be equally available to fathers/partners on a "use it or lose it" basis. The "risk" of parental leave becomes even between men and women, thus one reason for hiring discrimination is removed.
Probably. I mean, that's definitely illegal, but if they don't explicitly say that's why they're not hiring you, I doubt anything would ever come of it
