Canada gives 50 weeks of paid maternity leave?! -- nm - ty97 Apr 2, 07:01 16
- FYI, I am basing it on this (sorta) map -- (link) - ty97 Apr 2, 07:05 2
  - (Also: I might hate the name Mairlyn. It looks like her parents typo'ed) -- nm - ty97 Apr 2, 07:06 1
    - OMFG, that's awful. -- nm - mara Apr 2, 07:13
- well, Maternity for 15 weeks and Parental for 35. so, yes, 50, but the 35 weeks can be split between the parents (so dad can take some/all) - Andie Apr 2, 07:03 2
  - Right. I took 16 weeks for the Bean. -- nm - Reagen Apr 2, 07:05 1

  - and it is just part of our Employment Insurance program so it pays around 50-60% up to a max salary range IIRC -- nm - Beaker Apr 2, 07:03 7
    - Interesting. So the government pays it, as opposed to mandating employers pay salary? - ty97 Apr 2, 07:04 5
      - out of every pay cheque comes an amount for EI, the employer puts in 1.4 times and that covers it plus if you get laid off etc -- nm - Beaker Apr 2, 07:07 2
        
        and it isn't a set amount. varies. if you make $2k a week you'd get $1100 but if you made 200 you'd get 110 as an example -- nm - Beaker Apr 2, 07:08 1
        
        but capped at a certain amount. -- nm - Reagen Apr 2, 07:11
      - yep. it is the same as if you got laid off, you get the same amount. but your job is protected for the duration by law as well. -- nm - Andie Apr 2, 07:04 1
        
        (which means you keep your job benefits while you are off) -- nm - Andie Apr 2, 07:05
    - 55% of your average insurable weekly earnings (link provided if you want to know more :) ) -- (link) - Beaker Apr 2, 07:04
