[quote=jindc]+1 to being sure you have that year in. A lot of HR people seem to not really be up on the issues around 'maternity leave' (here [DOD civilian side], they definitely aren't) so you really want to be sure you can use FMLA if you need it. It took me about 3 1/2 years to have the max leave. I've been a fed for 7.5 years and now have like 5 months of sick and annual leave and I carry over the 240hour max every year. I never really take vacation (a day here, a day there), didn't have a honeymoon, I don't take sick days too often, and have been saving it specifically in case I ever need maternity or other family problem leave. However, once you have your 240 in the bank, it's pretty liberating and you feel OK taking a day off here and there. plus, with the furloughs I actually intend to use my day off for all my OB appointments when I can so I don't have to take more time off. Silver lining![/quote]
