[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused. I'm not a government employee, but i thought the federal law for everyone was that no employer could fire you for taking up to 6 month off after having a baby. they don't have to offer any paid leave, but they cannot fire you for taking unpaid leave. Am i mistaken?[/quote] Oh, wouldn't that be nice!!! Federal law is 12 weeks unpaid. DC law is up to 16 weeks for medical and 16 weeks for family leave. You can combine the two, but only take medical with back up from a doctor -- they'll typically give you 6 weeks for vaginal and 8 weeks for c-section. if you're on bed rest beforehand you can get more up to 32 weeks total. I'll be taking 22 weeks - 16 family + 6 medical.[/quote]
