[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you didn't take fmla, how did you take maternity leave?

I though fmla just guaranteed your job would be held for 12 weeks, regardless of if you were taking paid or unpaid leave, or on STD. I work in the private sector though. Maybe it's different for the Feds?[/quote]

Not OP, but I was not required to invoke FMLA to take maternity leave (a combo of paid and unpaid leave in my case). No one else I know of in my agency did either. Your management has a lot of discretion about what they can approve. FMLA is the just the minimum mandated by law.[/quote]

Thanks for answering. At my trade association job, I took fmla (meaning the job protection aspect), even though I used a combination of std and PTO for the entire 12 weeks. I guess technically if I were to have gotten sick again in that year, I could have been fired, since my job protection was up.

And OP, I only net $1000 after paying for daycare. I think it's a pretty normal situation. I continue to work so that I don't have a resume gap, and so I can fund my retirement (and get the match).[/quote]
