Between three-day bereavement leave policies and 12 weeks of unpaid leave covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act, U.S. employees often find themselves working through an illness, a loved one’s death or a personal emergency.
Leave management software company Cocoon wants to change that. After the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Cocoon implemented a first-of-its-kind compassionate leave policy, offering four weeks of paid leave for circumstances not covered by existing company leave policies. This could include undergoing an abortion, suffering a miscarriage and the death of someone who is not immediate family.
