The workplace: challenges for fathers and their use of leave
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Since 2006, the Québec Parental Insurance Plan has given fathers in this Canadian province the opportunity to take three to five weeks of paid Paternity Leave during the first year after the birth of a child; they can also use up to 25 or 32 weeks of Parental Leave, depending on the option chosen. Two exploratory qualitative research studies of fathers show that taking a Paternity Leave of five weeks is well accepted within the workplace, but the timing of the leave can be perceived as problematic. But fathers who choose to remain at home beyond the Paternity Leave must make more compromises with their employer, particularly, as this study shows, in the IT multimedia sector. They are often the first in their workplace to ask for and to take Parental Leave and can become an inspiration for other employees, but when they return to work, it can be difficult to follow the same rhythm as before and to be present for the same hours as others, especially when it comes to overtime. Faced by such difficulties, some fathers even reported changing their employer in order to better reconcile their work with their new family situation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
