[Clarification] Survey on parental leave and childcare policies at MIT (< 5 min)

[Maedbh King]

** Clarification on parental leave survey **



The survey sent out this morning misstated parental leave policies for non-benefits eligible staff (e.g., postdoc fellows). The survey should have stated the following: "MIT utilizes three types of leave that may be used by eligible postdocs who become parents:  maternity leave, paid parental leave and bonding leave paid at State Formula Rate. Please visit https://hr.mit.edu/employee-leaves/overview for more details about how these leaves work for benefits-eligible and non-benefits-eligible staff.”  Apologies for the error!

The survey<https://forms.gle/iSYEZDmAMuUUCjiVA> has been updated with this information (no questions have been altered).

Experience of Parental Leave and Childcare as a Postdoc/Research Scientist at MIT<https://forms.gle/iSYEZDmAMuUUCjiVA>
MIT utilizes three types of leave that may be used by eligible postdocs who become parents: maternity leave, paid parental leave and bonding leave paid at State Formula Rate. Please visit https://hr.mit.edu/employee-leaves/overview for more details about how these leaves work for benefits-eligible and non-benefits-eligible staff. MIT provides childcare services to its community through four Technology Childcare Centers (TCC)—three on the Cambridge campus and one in Lexington near MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory. We at POWER want to survey all postdocs and research scientists at MIT to determine whether these policies and services are sufficient, and if you are a parent or parent-to-be, we want to hear from you about whether your childcare and parental leave needs have been sufficiently met while working here. All answers will remain anonymous and we plan on presenting these data to MIT leadership some time in the near future.
