Formal policy -- there is a child care leave policy for the primary caregiver; 2 weeks paid on top of 4 weeks paid vacation, 6 to 8 weeks unpaid. My bet is we're average to below in the Boston market as far as formal policies go (I know of some who have a formal leave for non-primary care giver).
Reality -- men are rarely for a week after their kid is born, but usually after a day or two are checking in from home fairly frequently. Some take two or three weeks then, some hold off and take time later. No one ever seems to count time off here, as long as you have a workaholic reputation when around. On an informal basis, people do take time and we're probably more liberal than most in this market.
