I work for an LTC facility that pretty much charges for pto. This is the first time I’ve heard of this. I actually worked for an assisted living facility for 9 years before company sold the property and we did not lose money for pto.
I'm sure your wonder what I mean by paying for pto. This companies starting wage is $35hr but if you want pto your wage will have to drop to $33.50hr. This is were it gets interesting if you want PTO and Benefits your hourly wage is $32.
With a hourly wage of $32 your annual salary would be
Gross Income$66,560.00
Take Home $53,650.46
With an hourly wage of $35 your annual salary would be
Gross Income$72,800.00
Take Home$58,040.30
The take home between the wages is a $5,000 different. I think this policy is outrages. And to top it off the benefits that they offer still come out of your check every two weeks. I feel as it they are forcing you not to want benefits and pto.
I know of no places in the US that offer maternity leave. You would likely need to move to Canada or Europe, or another place with socialized healthcare to find that.
The military offers paid maternity leave. Also paternity leave. Of course, being in the military comes with it's own set of problems....?
