Comment on She only wanted the ring bros
some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 13 hours agoYou can just lie, no? My employer doesn’t get to know the employment status of my spouse; she doesn’t work for them. Seems like an invasion of privacy, but I could be misunderstanding the policy. If both companies have that same policy does it cause an infinite loop? 😆

If both employers have the same policy, one spouse selects primary and the other selects secondary.

Still not understanding what would prevent you from both selecting primary. A US company cannot reach into a whole other company’s employee records, right? Not without you volunteering that info. I suppose it might be legal to require that info as a condition of that specific type of leave, knowing the US lol. Or if the leave is arranged through the state or shared third-party HR platform I could see how that might automatically sync up.
The place I work for barely knows my wife and kid exist because they’re on my insurance plan. They don’t know if my wife even works, nevermind who she works for and how much time off she’s taking. I just am having trouble trying to imagine giving that level of detail voluntarily unless my arm was twisted.
