Netflix Begins 'Unlimited' Maternity, Paternity Leave Policy

Netflix introduced a maternity and paternity leave policy letting employees take "unlimited" paid time off during the first year after the birth or adoption of a child, the company said in a blog post Tuesday. It said Netflix will allow new parents to return part time or full time during that year, or return and then leave as needed, while the company continues to "keep paying them normally." Each "employee gets to figure out what's best for them and their family, and then works with their managers for coverage during their absences," wrote Chief Talent Officer Tawni Cranz.
