Paid Maternity Leave
Maternity leave is a basic right in other countries, but Americans still have to wonder if they’ll be able to leave their job if they should have a child, let alone get paid for their time off.
“I make $26/h. Get 5 weeks paid vacation (I pay ca. 30% Gov. tax + ca. 2% Social tax) 30 min paid lunch break. If need be; call in sick 12 days/yr with pay. Go to doctor/dentist during work hrs. – still get paid. The US seems like a different planet to me,” wrote Norwegian @SagbakMarit on Twitter.
