pregnant maternity leave

Ok, the company I work for (Houston county board of education) does not offer maternity leave. We have to use our sick leave and vacation. I had applied for short term disability at open enrollment in October. They didn't send me any paperwork until after January and they are denying my bennifits because I'm pregnant. I really think it's bull ****. How many other mothers will not get a full 6 week maternity leave? I feel like such a bad mommie having to leave my baby after 3 weeks.

When do people usually go on maternity leave? I work two jobs and I need to give as much notice as possible... and could I go back to work sooner if I chose to? I need to work as much as possible..

Im my my country it's illegal to sack a woman that is pregnant or in maternity leave. Employer has to wait at least 6 months after birth before he can fire a mother. Even more so, when a structural corporate change is being carried out- pregnant women/ new mothers are favored (well so long as you are not an incompetent, lazy, late employee). You should check what the regulator/ law has to say on the matter. Anyways if it doesn't work out try not to stress about it.

My maternity leave starts on the 13th, and my due date is the 14th. I have a desk job so I can work until the last min, since u dont, then maybe u might want to work until at least one week before. It counts against ur maternity leave if u plan on returning to work which u may want to consider. If not returning to work then leave as soon as ur able to granted u have enough money saved to get by.

I will suggest to talk to your Human Resource Rep and ask about short term disability for Maternity Leave and ask questions how long will they hold your position before they reassigned to someone else. If you feel that it is becoming to much for you, tell your doctor and plan for your leave. Listen to your body. I am now 19 weeks into my second pregnancy and will probably leave when I am 36-38 weeks.

I'm 32/4 I'm absolutely knackered n i find it hard to sleep or do anything i start my maternity leave 2 weeks today and work have cut my hours down cos I've been really struggling expecially when i walk all day at work

I will be with the company for almost 1 year when i go on leave for the baby. Obviously i havent told them that im pregnant yet, but are there laws that state employers must give so many weeks of maternity leave with pay?

I am 23 weeks and 6 days pregnant with my first due on July 4. I went to my supervisor to ask about how maternity leave worked and to put in I would need to be taking it here in a few months. She told me I would have to be forced to resign, because I haven't been there for a year quit yet. I was wondering if making me resign is even legal? And if I need to report Goodwill?

So last Friday was my last day of work & i had given my employer the Dr note 2 wks prior. On Wednesday wen i went to pick up my last check she gives me a paper & tell me to write "i quit" i was confused & asked why & she said because i wont be working anymore. I wrote "i will no longer be able ro work due to me being pregnant (maternity leave) i will maybe comeback.

Just wondering if i would still be entitled to my maternity leave, i would have been due to take it the end of april as im due 5th may. Its been so hard since i lost my job, i dont know what to do.

Also, many times if you take leave before the delivery, it cuts into your maternity leave after the baby is born. So check it out! If your job is reasonable, they might see things your way. Good luck!

ve had to apply for maternity leave a minimum of 10 weeks before I go on leave, and have applied to go on leave when im 32 week's as my company wont allow mevto work within 6 weeks, this will also give me a chance to get everything ready for bub and also rest before it all begins :)

currently 38 weeks pregnant. don't have maternity leave but was able to file for short term disability which in this state is only 6-8weeks postpartum.

I just found out im pregnant but I dont know when I should ask to leave ive had a stillbirth before and many miscarriages so I know I will have to go on bedrest I just dont know how soon p.

m thinking bout going ahead and going on maternity leave but I say its too kinda early!! My doctor told me I can go on leave anytime but he recommended me to been go on maternity leave when i was 30weeks!!! Idk? && my manager keeps complaining to bout me being pregnant she wants me to go on now too!! But I wanna at least wait one more week or so..

Can I go on unpaid maternity leave a few weeks before I go on my actual maternity leave? Or is that not possible. I honestly don't care about the money, DH has a very good job, so that's not really an issue. I'm going to remain working at the bank, but I don't know about P&C, I plan to work there after the baby, but I don't want to work there until 38W.

I worked until my due date in order to have as much time as possible with my baby. I got six weeks paid maternity leave. Family medical leave runs concurrently to maternity leave so if you use a month of it before the baby, you will have one month less to use after the baby. So, for me, I wanted as much time as possible after my baby was born so did not take an early maternity leave.

How long have you girls taken off for your maternity leave? I'm 6 months, would love more time but sadly bills need to be paid and a family needs feeding!

I was just wondering how many weeks before your due date everyone is planning on going in maternity leave.

30 to 5 and work 8:30 to 2 when im 38 weeks..

i was just curious when people tend to go on maternity leave? I'm studying my degree and working in a busy bar/club alongside that which is constant walking up and down for good 8 hour shifts each time with no break' I'm 19, and 35 weeks pregnant and I panic because I don't want my waters braking at work ect! I'm doing both days and night shifts which lead to 2am :( any advice is much appreciated!

Hi I'm 35 weeks and I've been working ever since before I got pregnant. I'm worried bout maternity leave before my job offers the benefit but not the pay...and I'm having alot of pain its hard for me to stroll around all day...but I need it financially as I can right now...and while I'm out on labor leave do I have to stay out for six weeks are can I get Dr. Excuse to go back before I really need advice ladies...has anyone felt the same way...

I am going off if everything goes smoothly just about 37 weeks. I am taking 2 weeks vacation leading in a 12 month maternity leave that will technically start mid october..

I don't think I will get a paid maternity leave, will I be able to file for unemployment to compensate for my expenses ?
