[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of our teachers all try to have summer babies. [/quote]

That because there isn’t paid maternity leave.[/quote]

They didn't try to have summer babies.  They tried to have spring babies so they could use their sick leave until the end of the year, have the summer off and come back in the fall.  They just didn't get pregnant as fast as they wanted.  I was lucky to have 3 spring babies. [/quote]

Oh how lucky. paid sick leave (is this vacation days or sick leave or full pay maternity leave) for April, May, June while a sub teaches 3 of your 8 mos of work. [/quote]

I don't know of any business where you are not allowed to take your paid sick leave in order to be paid for time off work after giving birth.  I know that many retail employees don't get paid sick leave at all, but that is, I think, a different issue.  One of the previous posters said something about 6 weeks of leave - FMLA requires that employees be allowed 12 (not necessarily paid) and DC's local FMLA requires 16.  I don't know many professional women who take less than 12 weeks off after giving birth.  And a lot of them get paid for all or some of it.  And definitely you can max out your sick leave.  Some employers allow other employees to donate sick leave to extend the paid portion of maternity leave or have other leave-bank type options that allow for longer periods of paid leave.  This doesn't sound like an outlier among professional benefits.  And 6 weeks at the end of the school year + 10 weeks of summer vacation is still only 16 weeks.  Same as what DC requires employers to allow under FMLA.   [/quote]
