[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long is the maternity leave and why is it you are the only person covering it? I could understand if its a 6-12 week leave. But if the wedding is in the fall and colleague not coming back until februrary, seems like work should develop an alternate plan for coverage. After all, what happens if OP gets sick and is out for 2 weeks? [/quote]

This is the issue.  Maternity leave is lengthy and not like swapping out vacations and nurse shifts. OP is prohibited from taking any leave for a 1.5 month to a 3 month or 6 month period? That's completely unreasonable.

1.5 month is reasonable especially in certain industries, 3-6 months is unreasonable except in extreme circumstances (you're the person who prepares security briefings for the president and have a special clearance to do your job, though in that case, they'd just assign someone not on maternity leave as backup, and also a person in that job would not be as petulant about a wedding as OP is being).

OP has yet to confirm she's actually being denied leave for the duration of the leave. For all we know, her request happens to coincide with an all-hands summit or she's an event planner and has a conference that week that normally her colleague could cover but can't due to maternity leave.

I think OP is being intentionally sketchy about this because she's mad she can't go on this specific vacation.[/quote]
