How to Request Paternity Leave at Accenture the Easy Way

Are you preparing to welcome your angel to the world and become a new parent soon? Congratulations! Well, have you considered taking paternity leave from Accenture to celebrate and bond with your baby in his first days of life? It is important, and you should plan to do so.

Taking paternity leave to be with your newborn baby is the most amazing feeling in one's life. However, working to cater to the many expenses accompanying your bundle of joy is also critical. Therefore, it's prudent to consider taking a paid leave to ensure financial stability during the period.

In the United States, few people take parental leave since not everyone qualifies to receive payment while away. According to an article published by Dr. Petts, an Associate Professor of Sociology at Ball State, a paternity leave decision is influenced by several factors depending on which state you work in. On the other hand, determining your paid leave eligibility is a backbreaking task that needs many follow-ups thanks to DoNotPay, a convenient, automated, and less frustrating way to find out if you qualify for a paid leave.

Who Is Eligible for Parental Leave in the U.S.?

In the United States, several forces influence the decision to take parental leave, so leave-taking is not shared. Depending on your state, paternity policies restrict access to paid parental leave. With the current paternity leave structure, it's imminent to aggravate family inequality, whereby more advantaged families mostly find access to parental leave and all the benefits therein.

In the U.S., most states do not offer government-subsidized parental leave programs. However, some companies in the private sector offer paid parental leave benefits, but it's a federal mandate. For instance, in California, private companies with over 50 employees and all public sectors offer up to 12 weeks of unpaid parental leave.

Paid Parental Leave in the United States

There are a few states in the U.S. that offer parental leave, such as:

What Is FMLA?

Family and Medical Leave Act is a labor law that instructs employers of particular sizes to offer their employees unpaid leave to attend to seriously sick family members or any family situations that call for their attention. The following reasons qualify the unpaid leave;

• Foster care placement
• Pregnancy
• Family or personal loss
• Military leave

FMLA also allows continued insurance coverage under the same conditions; insurance coverage should continue as though the employee is not on leave. Under this law, workers should rest 12 workweeks within 12 months.

Medical Conditions Covered by FMLA

FMLA covers serious illnesses such as:

• Alzheimer's disease
• Chronic back conditions
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Nervous disorders
• Severe depression
