The federal government says more families than expected are taking advantage of the new ability to extend a year’s worth of parental leave benefits over 18 months.
That option will be available only to parents who qualify for employment insurance benefits, which some experts fear could act as a barrier for parents who don’t or can’t work enough to meet the minimum requirements for hours worked. The vast majority of parental leave claims come from women, who comprise about 85 per cent of the total.
As a self-employed father-to-be, in lieu of not being able to take the leave, it would helpful to get the dollar equivalent that my wife and I can then use to either extend her leave or pay for care JustinTrudeau Bill_Morneau
'Parents will get 5 additional weeks if they opt for the traditional 12-month parental leave, or 8 weeks under the new 18-month option, so long as the couple agrees to split the time off to care for a new child...'
Give the money NOT used back to other folks. Like the parents of kids with autism. Just a thought.
