[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to add since you already took your 6 weeks of medical leave you are correct that it would be 22 total (16 weeks FMLA in DC). The possibility for up to 16 weeks medical does exist but I've only ever heard of doctors giving 6 or 8 (for C-section) after child birth.[/quote] I was under the impression that short-term disability (6 weeks at 2/3 salary) and FMLA were separate, but my employer's benefit administrator ran mine concurrently. Took off ~14 weeks total for a standard vaginal delivery. I'm a DC resident and work at at hospital. Grateful to have the extra 4 week allowance for being a DC resident, but our system sucks.[/quote] I'm not a lawyer but my understanding is that short-term disability does run concurrently with the medical leave. It's separate from the family leave guaranteed by DC's FMLA. HR reps get this wrong all the time and are just used to following the federal FMLA.[/quote]
