Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

None.
i need to use sick time and then go on short term disability
it stinks

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

6 weeks at 60% for vaginal birth and 8 weeks at 60% for a c-section.

I also have about 10 or 12 weeks of sick/vacation time accrued so I can use that. I actually just chatted a bit with my admin about leave and she said straight out "tell me what you want and I'll make it work." So, I'll most likely take some unpaid time off as well, depending on finances.

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

Four weeks paid (100%) Vaginally
Six weeks Paid (100%) C-Section
Two weeks Pay (60%)
Two weeks Vacation (100%)
Four weeks no pay

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

not one day

I have to use up all of my sick and vacation days......

(I'm also in a fairly male dominated field... I'm a neuroscientist at SBU)

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

6 weeks short term disability, paid at 60% of my salary. No taxes are removed but is still ends up less than my normal check because of a cap they have on the distribution. Apparently, I make too much money.

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

9 weeks full pay for vaginal delivery
11 weeks full pay for c-section
4 weeks full pay vacation
up to 2 weeks full pay before delivery if you choose to
after your paid leave you can as many additional weeks as you like, up to a full year unpaid if you so choose.

I am in marketing for a large publishing company.

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

its under disability so i get up to 12 weeks whether i have vaginal or c-section, however, i have to be signed out by the doctor for 12 weeks.

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

I received 8 weeks paid, but I had to use the sick days I had accumulated. I worked for the NYCDOE. Now I am on an unpaid leave of absence.

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

Honestly, I have no idea. I mean I know I get disablilty and then my benefit time will make up the difference. So I guess I get 6-8 weeks of paid time off?? It will be interesting to see when I stop getting paid

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

6 weeks 100% then the "maternity Leave" depends on how long you have been with the company, ill be here 5 years so i get 5 weeks at 40% (if i want to take it)

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

6 weeks vag, 8 weeks csection UNpaid FMLA leave. Luckily, though, I was able to sign up for supplimental disability which will pay me 60% of my salary for those weeks

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

I am getting full disability pay while I am out before the birth (will be about 7 weeks) , then once the baby is here I get 12 weeks fully paid.

I have to say , I work for JP Morgan Chase and the beneifts are outstanding

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

When I had Bella I received:
well, I could have had 2 weeks before the birth paid but I went early
6 weeks Vaginal Birth, 8 Weeks C-section
2 weeks parental leave (what men get, but women get in addition to the above)
any vacation I had to use up to 12 weeks.

I used 9 1/2, went back for 2 weeks and took 2 1/12 weeks vacay around Xmas...which probably wasn't technically legal, but whatevs.

This new company I am at has like 8 employees, so I have no idea what they would do and I don't think they have a clue either.

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

I get 90 days paid. I'm very lucky!

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

I live in the UK and we have a great maternity deal, My company gives six week at 90% pay and we get a a further 36 weeks at a statuatory amount which is about $250 a week, legally we are entitled to a year off, also we get something called Child Benefits and thats about $35 a week per child and you get that until your children are 16.

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

I only get paid for whatever days I have in my bank and I can borrow 20 more days. It stinks!

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

I got 7 weeks paid in full (they say 8 but its really 7 as the first week you have to use sick/vacation time)

For the other 5 I used alot of sick/vacation time and only didnt get paid for about 1 week out of the 12

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

I get 6 weeks paid and can take 12 under FMLA - i am taking 4.5 months

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

12 weeks paid

Re: Spinoff: Paid Maternity Leave?

12 weeks @ 60%. Any extra time off I take (which would be up to an additional 8 weeks I believe, is unpaid.

This whole maternity leave thing still confuses me.
