Intuit recently revamped its parental policies in January 2016 and presented it under the #GotYouCovered programme. It aims at not only helping employees celebrate parenthood with ample time off, but also addresses the dual parental responsibilities that new mothers and fathers have to take on after a child's birth. Under the new benefits, Intuit offers paid maternity leave for up to 26 calendar weeks (as against the statutory norm of 12 calendar weeks) and paternity leave up to 15 working days. This allows our employees more time to ensure they have sufficient support at home once they re-join work. Adoption leave is agnostic to gender and is provided to all employees adopting children - whether male or female - so long as they are the primary caregiver of the child. For those adopting, Intuit offers adoption assistance that helps new parents with the mounting legal work and fees that adoption entails along with 26 weeks of paid leave.
