[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a fed and it's not even standardized here. I have friends who have been able to work out amazing telework, flexible scheduling and take 6 months of paid maternity leave.

I on the other hand can't use sick leave for any more than my first 6 weeks and must take an entire day of annual leave for every single appointment (after the one hour of sick leave for the actual appointment). Also, my agency won't allow my husband to transfer leave to my maternity leave, whereas most other agencies allow this.[/quote]

Agree that this is f'ing ridiculous.

I have over 400 hrs of sick leave, but am limited to how much I can use for maternity leave.  I have colleagues one floor up who have teleworked for 2 months after their first 12 weeks were up.  I can't telework.  The fact that the feds do not have a blanket policy is embarrassment.

As for the "entire day of sick leave for an hour at the doctor", that's ridiculous.  Are you out all day?  If you're in the office for 5 hours, you get paid for 5 hours.  If you're made to take 8 hours of leave even though you're there, I'd file a formal complaint.  Or have I misunderstood the situation? [/quote]
