[quote=Anonymous]There is no such thing as maternity leave in the government. As a fed, you accrue 4 hours of sick leave per pay period--so roughly one day per month. For the first 3 years of federal service, you accrue vacation leave at the same rate. So, at the end of one year, you will have accrued 26 days of leave total--and that assumes you take no vacation days and never get sick or go to the doctor. You can get leave without pay and under FMLA, your job will be held for a certain number of weeks. I was a fed 7 years and when my child was born and I used every bit of my leave to have 12 weeks off. I had taken vacations and sick leave over the years but nothing out of the ordinary. So that should give you an idea-it took 7 years to accrue 12 weeks of sick leave and vacation leave. Most private companies and law firms have better leave than the government notwithstanding the pervasive view that government benefits are so great. [/quote]
