Start Planning

“We thought we had everything planned — we’re both highly educated and did a ton of research. But we almost missed out on my partner’s entire top-up because we didn’t realize the government deadline was earlier than our company’s policy. We only caught it because of Manela.”

“I was told by HR to just submit my dates and they’d handle everything, so I didn’t think twice. I didn’t realize I had to apply for benefits myself until it was too late. It turned into a stressful, drawn-out situation that could have been avoided.”

“So many people at my company went on leave without realizing they were eligible for additional income through our insurance plan. I only found out by chance — it’s not something that’s clearly explained anywhere.”

What if my parental leave situation is complicated?

Many parental leave journeys include unexpected factors — premature births, disability leave, cross-provincial rules, or mental health recovery. Because these situations are often handled case by case, Manela offers concierge support to help you understand your options.
