[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do most women want to stay at home after having kids? I don't think they do. I personally would like to work 7 hour days after having kids (instead of 8.5). That would be ideal for me, and you could cut my salary by that same amount. I liked having 12 weeks paid maternity leave and then returning to work.

I see the stats in newspapers on maternity leave, but it doesn't mesh with what I see first hand. All of my girl friends have either had paid maternity leave through work, or paid through a work STD policy, or they used their own annual and sick leave (what I did). Career jobs do all have maternity leave or STD policies for birth. [/quote]

Correct

Everyone with a professional salaried job gets 12 weeks paid by employer FMLA leave, must work there over 12 mos to qualify. [/quote]

Hi. This is wrong. If your employer has fewer than 50 employees AT YOUR WORK SITE (or within 75 miles) you are not eligible for FMLA. While I get paid parental leave, I have no job protection because we have fewer than 50 employees in DC (but hundreds nationwide). [/quote]

Correct.  What about it?  Your employees can’t hold your small business ransom.

Did they let go the last several pregnant women while they were home on (unprotected) leave?

How many weeks of (unprotected) leave did they pay or at what %?

Are these even high value, skilled roles? Because the more easily replaceable you are, the less you’re going to make at the office or on leave.

Go work somewhere else if that bothers you. [/quote]

What small business? My employer has over 1,000 employees nationwide. The HQ just happens to be in a different city.

Women are severely underrepresented, particularly in leadership, in my industry.

I don’t have any job protection if I have a baby. [/quote]

Stop the fake drama. [b]In practice:

Yes, women at my job have been fired on maternity leave. That wouldn’t happen with FMLA eligibility.

We get 16 weeks paid leave at 70% pay for 6-10 weeks (depending on disability) and the remainder at 100% pay.

Yes, I have paid leave, which is awesome. I still don’t have job protection through FMLA, which puts me in the same boat is the majority of Americans. [/quote]
Anyone can be fired or laid off during FMLA leave if there’s a business case or underperformance case. Happens all the time, large or small companies. [/quote]

It absolutely doesn’t happen all the time because it creates significance risk of an FMLA interference claim. It really only happens if there are already mass layoffs happening at the same time. If you think that you can easily be laid off during FMLA, then you’re arguing FMLA doesn’t actually offer any protection. [/quote]

Yes many firms cull their bottom 5-10% each year. [/quote]
