For Allegheny County businesses
Allegheny County is requiring 12 weeks of paid parental leave. Parento's paid parental leave insurance makes it easy and affordable for every employer to comply.
Allegheny County is proposing to expand its paid sick time mandate to include paid parental leave. Currently, almost 60% of county residents lack paid parental leave, becoming a major health concern. The proposal will require employers to provide:
100%
of employees' base pay
12 wks
12 weeks of paid parental leave
Through Parento's affordable insurance program, your business can easily provide paid parental leave. Estimate your costs for covering all eligible employees and compare that versus self-funding, which can cost your business thousands for just one leave.
Paid parental leave is tied to better employee outcomes than almost any other offering, responsible for driving down rehiring costs, keeping valuable talent, and building healthier workplaces.
40%
of women quit after having a kid, but paid parental leave reduces that to 12%
50%
of an employee's annual salary or wages is the average rehiring expense
73%
of employees would leave their company for one with better benefits
Employees will inevitably have children, so if you can keep your talent when they do, you save on rehiring expenses — often 50% of an employee's wages or salary, not including the downtime while retraining and onboarding a new hire.
Companies with paid parental leave policies can better compete for top talent. As a top need for Millennials and Gen Z, employers see a boost in recruitment and reputation as more people want to work for them.
73% of employees would leave their current company for one that offers better benefits, with half considering family-friendly policies a must-have. With paid leave, 86% of employees said they are more likely to be loyal.
