Policies and Culture

"Paid maternity leave" was based on the question: "Does your workplace offer paid maternity leave and is it separate from any other leave such as sick and or vacation leave?", with responses of yes, no, and "not sure." Conditional on having reported no to having paid maternity leave, "other maternity leave" was based on the question: "can employees take paid maternity leave using other leave such as sick time or vacation time?", with responses of yes, no, and "not sure." "Breastfeeding policy" was based on the question: "Does your workplace have a written policy on breastfeeding

or pumping?", with responses of yes, no, and "not sure." "Seen policy" was conditional on having reported yes to having a breastfeeding policy at work and based on the question: "Have you seen or do you have a copy of the written policy on breastfeeding at your workplace?", with responses of yes, no, and "not sure." "Pumping break times" was based on the question: "Does your workplace provide break times to allow mothers to pump breastmilk?", with responses of yes, no, and "not sure." Conditional on having reported yes to having break times for pumping, "flexible breaks" was based on the question: "Is the break time flexible (e.g., you can take it when you need to)?", with responses of yes, no, and "not sure."
