It’s actually 2/3 of your pay, up to a cap. A great benefit for new parents, my wife took advantage of it, but I only took a week off for each kid

You are correct 

Alot of my co workers only took a week or two because they didnt have alot of time. I didnt want my wife to do all the work. Also she had a rough pregnancy.  30 hours in labor and then emergency C section with her and the baby heart rate dropping . I still have to give her injections for low iron and low blood because of blood loss during pregnancy.

Pretty smart of him to plan his baby in mid-winter. The model graphics at home are better than in the cruiser.

Tracking the blizzard while feeding my kid and staying up all night was awesome. I showed him all the models .

No. New York has paid family leave, it’s fully paid. FMLA is unpaid. Good for him to live in a state with such generous benefits for new parents. 

I used FMLA and used PTO. I had a choice though.

FMLA for men was just created a few years ago.

Damn, I got 3 weeks total for 3 kids.

New York State has Family Medical Leave Act where you can take up to 12 weeks for males bonding with kid and females who gave birth along with other medical reasons. Just have to fill out paperwork and I had to mail them my son's birth certificate. 

I had 750 hours of PTO so im using at least 500. You have a choice of using that to get paid or just that 12 weeks of unpaid leave .

My wife is already thinking about another kid so I have to start doing overtime again. 

There is another leave caller Family Leave Act where you can take up to 12 weeks and don't have to use time and get paid half your pay check.

I think a period of heat returns to our region during the third of fourth week of May, leaning towards the third week.

WX/PT

 

Long range on the models are showing wetter and cooler conditions to end April into early May. Quite possible the heat returns when blocking breaks down.
