Did you know UNC now has paid parental leave for new parents? The new benefit provides four consecutive weeks (20 workdays) of paid parental leave that can be used during the recuperation period for the birth parent immediately following the birth of a child. It also provides the birth parent and non-birth parent up to four continuous weeks of paid bonding leave that can be used during the 12 months immediately following the birth, adoption, foster care placement or other legal placement of a child under the age of 18.
For more information, please check out the full text of the Policy and the related Procedure for requesting paid parental leave and review the University’s “Paid Parental Leave Toolkit” on the UNC HR website.
