Twitter CEO Elon Musk cuts paid parental leave to 14 days from 20 weeks: Report

New York: Twitter CEO Elon Musk has drawn flak after the company changed its parental leave policy by slashing the period from 20 weeks to 14 days (2 weeks), as per internal company documents accessed by New York Times.

The change will have a drastic impact on employees who reside in those parts of the United States which have no paid leave policy.

Currently, only 12 states in the US have the provision for paid family and medical leave.

As per the new policy, a woman has to get back to work just two days after giving birth or go for a long unpaid leave, a Twitter user said.

The users felt that 20 weeks of paid maternity leave helped reduce the financial burden on new parents.

"This is how the gender pay gap is entrenched,” a user wrote.
