How a generous parental leave works

Extended paid parental leave beyond the statutory minimum

  • Extended paid parental leave well beyond the statutory minimum
  • Typically equal for all parents — birth, adoptive, and partners
  • Standard 40-hour week the rest of the time, at full pay
  • Often paired with phased return-to-work options
Best for: people planning a family who want real paid time with a new child without a career penalty.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about 4-day week jobs

We list 18 companies that have publicly committed to a generous parental leave arrangement with full pay. The defining feature of every company on this page is that hours are reduced relative to a standard 5-day week without a corresponding pay cut. Prominent employers include Adobe, American Express, and Anthropic. Browse the list above for company profiles and current open positions.
The specifics vary by company, but every generous parental leave implementation on this page preserves full pay. Some employers fix the non-working day, others rotate it; some define the schedule week-by-week, others operate on a longer cycle. The common threads are full salary, consistent workload expectations, and public commitment to the policy. Each company profile shows the exact version they operate.
Technology, consulting, and professional services dominate adoption of the generous parental leave pattern. Engineering-heavy and knowledge-work roles are most compatible with the compressed workload expectations, though an increasing number of design, marketing, and product-focused organisations appear in the listings. Click through to individual company pages for industry-specific context on how the schedule operates in practice.
Companies offering a generous parental leave typically provide around 28 days of annual leave on top of the reduced-hours schedule — vacation days are separate from the weekly day off. Some employers combine the reduced schedule with unlimited or generous PTO policies; others stick to standard allowances because the weekly cadence already reduces burnout. Individual company profiles detail the exact PTO policy.
No — companies on 4dayweek.io commit to maintaining full pay under the generous parental leave arrangement. This is a hard criterion for inclusion. Pilot studies from the UK 4 Day Week Campaign and individual company reports consistently show productivity held flat or improved under full-pay reduced schedules. Part-time and explicitly pro-rata arrangements are labelled separately and don't appear on standard schedule-type pages.
