[quote=Anonymous]There are some similar recent threads on this-- don't know if they will come up with a search. Basically you aren't entitled to very much. There is no paid maternity leave for anyone in the federal government. You can probably take up to 12 weeks unpaid (technically you might not be entitled to it as a new employee, but personally I have not heard of a supervisor denying leave on that basis). It's possible your office would let you take a little more leave without pay, or a temporary parttime schedule, but getting approval for a parttime schedule may be harder in the current (sequester) environment. You may also be able to take advance sick leave, but that is up to your supervisor/HR usually, and you may want to save it (note that you can use your sick leave when needed to care for you child, as well as yourself).[/quote]
