[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good to know - so what happens in this case, I guess unpaid leave? Rest of my questions still stand, how is viewed to be gone so soon after starting? Does it make sense to mention it now? I guess I don't see the point of mentioning it now unless you are essentially asking the hiring official to reconsider and rescind the offer? [/quote]

You can request unpaid leave (LWOP) however without 12 months of I employment they are similarly not required to approve it under FMLA so technically they could say no and terminate you. It’s highly unlikely that they would do so unless you already have proven to be a problem employee, but I would err on the side of discussing now rather than taking that risk.

Since you are missing out on 3 months of paid leave I think people are far more likely to feel bad for you rather than judge you so wouldn’t worry about that being an issue.[/quote]

thank you - this is a good perspective. They seem to really want me to join. Do you know the max LWOP you can take for something like childbirth?
