Spotify Rolls Out Updated Patental Leave Policy

Spotify introduced a new global parental leave policy that allows all full-time employees to take up to six months of leave with full pay, the company said in a news release Thursday. Spotify said the six months of leave can be taken until the child's third birthday, and all employees who had children in 2013 are also eligible for the benefit. Mothers and fathers can split leave into separate periods, the release said, and employees transitioning back to work from parental leave will be able to work from home on part-time schedules within the first month of their return.
