[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you just submitted your leave request, but the maternity leave had already been submitted prior to yours, no?[/quote]

So friggin’ what.  It is MY [i][b]earned leave[/i][/b]. I’m not being compensated for the loss. Ridiculous.[/quote]

Take your leave at a different time so it doesn't overlap and therefore won't be denied.

Sounds like you waited too long.[/quote]

The leave is to roll in a mini vacation in prior to a fall wedding.  The wedding is far, so I’d like to take a few days off prior to the wedding so we can explore the area and make traveling that far worth it.  I cannot move a wedding date.

It’s not my responsibility to accommodate maternity leave so that I can use my earned leave.  If you are going to deny my leave, then I should be getting a cash payout at the end of the year. [/quote]

You aren't entitled to leave for a wedding. You can't go. Or you can go but must spend the money to travel without the extra time.

Maternity leave is mandated by the government. The company can't force someone on maternity leave back before their federally mandated FMLA period. This is true whether the leave is paid or unpaid. And it's not reasonable to expect your employer to hire a temp for you to take off a few days, unless your job is incredibly simply and easy.

This has nothing to do with "punishing" you for not having kids. It's a practical consideration based on relevant laws and liabilities. It's honestly only incidentally about children or who is a parent.[/quote]
