- 2Finance union calls for gender-neutral parental leave▼A quiet revolution is changing the face of parenting in finance, as FSU calls for paid parental leave to belong to the parent, not the gender
The Finance Sector Union is pressing for paid parental leave in the finance industry to be attached to the parent rather than to gender, describing the shift as a quiet revolution in how parenting leave is structured. Under such a model, any parent could access paid leave regardless of gender, rather than entitlements being split into maternity and paternity categories.
