As such, we are moving forward with adding the factsheet information to our MA AIO. We will include on the notice the statement that “Employers must post the company parental leave policy alongside this notice.” Since parental leave policies for various companies differ so significantly, we will not include blanks on the AIO for this information to be filled in.
