[quote=Anonymous]I work at a legislative agency (GAO). My kids were born before there was paid maternity leave. (The first was after I’d been there 5 years.) If you happen to have an offer from us and join us there was a an excel sheet that used to make the rounds and I’m sure still exists that helped people calculate / plan their maternity leave. I’m not in management but I have found the agency to be quite flexible / reasonable with requests. In this case I assume you’d have to take unpaid leave but I don’t know. Be warned that although there’s an option for advancing sick leave I wouldn’t do that. I used almost all my sick leave when having my kids and then when they were in daycare and got sick. It would have been brutal to have worked my way back from a deficit. In addition two taking unpaid leave twice for kids, in between that my DH got relocated and I asked for a few weeks unpaid while we moved, found housing, daycare, etc and it was granted. [/quote]
