Facebook CEO, Zuckerberg to Take 2 Months Paternity Leave

The Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg took to his social media platform on Friday to announce he will take two months of paternity leave after his wife Priscilla Chan gives birth to their baby girl. "Priscilla and I are starting to get ready for our daughter's arrival. We've also been thinking about how we're going to take time off during the first months of her life. This is a very personal decision, and I've decided to take 2 months of paternity leave when our daughter arrives."

Like many other tech companies in Silicon Valley, Facebook provides expansive maternity/paternity benefits. "Studies show that when working parents take time to be with their newborns, outcomes are better for the children and families. At Facebook we offer our US employees up to 4 months of paid maternity or paternity leave which they can take throughout the year," the father-to-be added.
