Amazon has just joined a growing list of companies offering generous parental leave to employees.

According to Business Insider, Amazon will offer 20 paid weeks of leave to new birth mothers and six weeks to other parents. New parents can also share their leave time with partners who don’t have the same leave through their employers, meaning they can return back to work and receive full pay while their partner takes over at home.
