[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Under the FMLA I can take my 20 plus vacation days plus home leave plus the 480 plus hours of sick leave i have accrued snd potentially get 530 hours total to use for maternity leave - that's nearly 116 days or nearly four months![/quote]

At my federal agency we can only use 6 weeks of our sick leave towards our 12 week FMLA. The problem is that you often have 2 babies when you haven't worked very long (5 years?) and many doctors appointments during pregnancy to exhaust your leave. All of my Boomer coworkers have 2000+ hours of sick leave, but it doesn't help much when you're 30 and pregnant. [/quote]

Yep, I'm about to have my second kid and it's been hard rebuilding my leave from the first one.  I will be lucky if I can save enough leave to cover two months.  Meanwhile my mom was able to use her short term disability which her private sector job pays for to take six months off when she got ill.  She has the best health insurance also, it covers all types of things that most government insurances policies don't like Lasik.

My friend also works at a company with a nice sick leave policy.  They are able to go to any medical appts without using leave as long as it isn't over 4 hours.  So she's been able to stack a ton of leave as a result. [/quote]
