Subject: Exciting Update: Expanded Parental Leave Policy Hi Team, Got some news that'll make a lot of us smile: starting [effective date] we're bumping the parental‑leave benefit up to 20 weeks of full pay. No matter how you become a parent, birth, adoption, surrogacy, or how long you've been with us, you'll get the same stretch.
