A new Kiwi startup wants employers to put their parental leave policies on its new register.

Crayon is creating a database of verified parental leave policies for parents to easily access.

Employees traditionally have to be at the same employer for 12 months or more to be eligible for full parental leave benefits

Founder Stephanie Pow says the goal is to create transparency.

She says it's not about naming and shaming, but making the information available for everyone to find.
