Publix Super Markets Inc., the operator of about 1,300 grocery stores in the southeastern U.S., will start offering paid parental leave in the new year.
Eligible full- and part-time employees will be able “to take time off with pay within the first year after the birth or adoption of a child,” the company said in an emailed statement. Publix didn’t specify how much time would be covered.
