60% STD and 40% vacation. That is fairly standard. Spread the vacation out to fill in the gap for 5 weeks.

Bro you didn't know?? These bitches are gonna take their paid leave and then sail off into the sunset!!1 It's not like they even need their job after having a baby. And shite, applying for and interviewing for a new job isn't stressful; especially with a newborn!
I laughed pretty hard at the one guy who mentioned the cost of paying them 100% leave for 12 weeks. A new hire is fricking expensive.

as it should be. The days of treating your employees like automated machines are over.
There was a time when Worker's Compensation wasn't mandatory. Henry Ford would fire you and tell you to not let the door hit you on the arse on your way out after losing a finger on the assembly line.

One good thing about the company is that she's allowed to bring the baby to work with her for the first 9 months of its life. Seems weird to me and I would hate to work in an office like that, but I'll take it in this case
Wow, that sucks. Does she plan on going back to that employer? I don't know how I could sleep at night if I were her boss.

And a complete pain in the arse to train. Then there is the chance the new hire won't even like the position or company. There is also the 98% chance the existing women in the office won't like the new hire.

All in all, if you work for a company with means (Progressive obviously falls into this) then we can assume the folks who built that company or are in hiring positions are smarter than the hard dicks on this board. It's common knowledge that good benefits and a comfortable working environment=loyal employees. Not to mention you get the pick of the litter in the talent pool.

Yep, 100% pay for 12 weeks.

I agree with you that it is a great benefit to help retain good employees, but you're being shortsighted with respect to the cost for some companies. We have a branch manager who has been out for 8 weeks and still has 4 weeks to go and it has been a disaster at that branch in her absence. We'll be happy to have her back, and she deserves her time and pay, but filling the void for longer than that would be detrimental.
It has effectively put a halt to the advancement opportunities of the assistant branch manager for the foreseeable future.

Congrats by the way. That's got to be an awesome feeling after trying for so long.

That is awesome. One of the big stresses on new mothers is the idea of putting them in a daycare at 6 weeks old or 12 weeks old or whenever the time off runs out.

NO, my 3 children have produced 6 of my grandbabies.

Why should I as an employer pay for someone to have children?

Correct. 3 children, 6 grandbabies

Why should you as an employer pay for someone to take vacations, why should you as an employer pay for someone when they aren't working because of an injury, why should you as an employer pay a match for someone's retirement, why should you as an employer pay for health insurance?
Maybe because it is 2016, not 1916.

I am assuming this is a hypothetical question, because with a response like that, you would most likely be the guy that drives a business into the ground.

Thanks man. We're starting to clean one of the spare rooms out now that we've been using for storage to convert into a nursery. We've started buying a few things already and each time I purchase something I get this giddy feeling.
I can't wait. Everyone tells me that it's life changing. I'm starting to feel it each time we go to the doctor. I can't wipe this damn shite eating grin off my face.
We're going to doctor next Friday and we'll have the opportunity to find out the sex, but we've decided that we're not going to find out. Needless to say next week's appointment should be interesting

I won't deny that some companies can't afford to offer benefits like Progressive. It's a choice you make when job hunting.
But if your balance sheet forces you to make mothers use their vacation and STD time, you're going to have a hard time retaining women employees.
