[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, if you're hired while prgnant, it's within the employer's rights to ask you to come to work the day after giving birth. FMLA, the legal justification for taking time off to care for a baby, isn't in effect unless you've been in a job for a year. If you haven't accrued any sick or vacation time, you can ask for unpaid leave, but it's legal for them to say no.[/quote] Exactly. No FMLA, and most places with parental leave benefits require you to be there for at least a year. [/quote] Also, you are making assumptions about what that pregnant woman will do once she has the baby. No, it would not be appropriate to ask for a 6 month leave when you've just been at the company for 3 months. But some women will know that a short leave is the price to be paid for taking a new job while pregnant. Look at Marissa Mayer.[/quote]
