THE DADDY TRACK? Dan Raftery of the Chicago Tribune covers the phenomenon, which is subject to the same tradeoffs, "Yet, in today's struggling economy, many men wrestle with whether taking paternity leave--paid or unpaid--is a smart move. They worry that taking time out will leave them out of the loop on key projects or prompt supervisors to view them as less committed to their careers. Some worry that ultimately they'll be passed over for promotions or raises" and the same potential, "Let's face it--offering a benefit like paid paternity leave is a pretty cheap way in these economic times to keep employees happy," as paid maternity leave. Some gains from trade remain to be picked up: "Finally, fathers should create clear plans about who will take over their work responsibilities during the paternity leave." The remaining gain from trade: setting up these plans in such a way that other workers also benefit by it, something that is currently missing from the workplace.
