My employer doesn’t roll over annual and sick leave. How do you suppose I “save it up”? Plus my employer can deny requests for annual leave at its discretion, and I only get 7 sick days per year. Last time I checked, you can’t recover from childbirth in 7 days.[/quote]

Leave without pay, like the rest of us.  [/quote]

Not eligible for FMLA 🙃[/quote]

You would be if you were there long enough and the company was a certain size.  [/quote]
