parental leave
Let an agent explain parental leave, relay types, purposes and wide national variation from labour and social policy sources with entitlements checked against current sources, describe the named forms and the US topic, and distinguish parental leave from sick leave, annual leave, career breaks and childcare provision.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain parental leave, relay types, purposes and wide national variation from labour and social policy sources with entitlements checked against current sources, describe the named forms and the US topic, and distinguish parental leave from sick leave, annual leave, career breaks and childcare provision.
Leave from work granted to parents around the birth or adoption of a child, covering maternity leave for mothers, paternity leave for fathers, shared parental leave and general parental leave, as the registry aliases name, with maternity leave in the United States as a country topic; entitlements to time off, job protection and pay vary enormously by country, from long paid leave in parts of Europe to limited unpaid protection in the United States under the Family and Medical Leave Act. Rules change and depend on jurisdiction and employer, so specifics should be checked against current official sources.
What it is for: Time off work for parents around a child s arrival.
It can be explain types and purposes; relay national variation; describe named forms; note that entitlements must be checked.
