[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether or not the leave bank is open to you depends on the agency.  My agency, for example, does not have a leave bank and moreover someone cannot donate leave to you if the purpose is for maternity leave.  [/quote]

Maternity leave in the form of the semi-standard three months off, no. What I'm talking about is leave that allows you to heal from childbirth, so 6 weeks for a vaginal birth and 8 for a C-section, more for complications. Provided you are a member of the leave bank and you have exhausted your annual and sick leave, or will exhaust it during the 6- or 8-week recovery period, then you are covered. I would be surprised if a Federal agency didn't offer that. It's not the same as what people think of as traditional maternity leave, but it's certainly better than nothing. And you're right in that people can't donate for the purpose of maternity leave. If, however, you have complications and require additional time off and you're out of your own leave, then they can donate to you. They don't even have to work for the same agency.[/quote]
