[Culturechat] Maternal Leave in CH

[Vance Roy]

When a working woman in CH becomes pregnant, she gets up to sixteen
weeks of paid leave. The first eight weeks are at full pay. The second
eight weeks vary. If she is going to return to work after the second
eight weeks, she gets the percentage of full pay according to her
percentage of work. A lot of CH workers have less than 100% work in a
given job. A five day week is 100%. If she works only 40%, then she gets
40% of her salary , etc. If she does not plan to return to work, then
she gets nothing the second eight week period.

I wonder how that compares to the USA?
