[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My company provides very generous PTO, 7 weeks/year. How much of this would you feel comfortable using during mat leave? I know I should leave a decent amount left over for stuff that pops up i.e. constantly getting sick (we'll use daycare beginning around 5 months give or take depending on how much PTO I take).[/quote]

It really depends on so many things that only you know the answer to.
- Will you be on disability? For how long? What percent of your salary will you be earning? 
- Are you using PTO to supplement the disability? If you don't supplement, will you be OK on a "lower" paycheck for that time? 
- How much PTO can you carry over from year to year? Are you in danger of maxing out?

For me, I could either use PTO to supplement the disability to be at "full" salary (mat leave paid 67%) or skip the supplement. It meant I would either zero out or keep a balance since we were OK on my husband's salary with my disability "pay". I decided to keep a balance. [/quote]
