[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect HR was quite clear on what the rules were (and no one ever accumulates 6 weeks of vacation in the first year of work - two weeks? Maybe but only after serving a requisite no. of months).  Even in the very finest law firms I worked in, professionals got two weeks only after serving a full year.  Never six weeks.  OP's story just doesn't hang together.  OP wants to have her cake but eat it too.  If I were management, I would want to show her the door and fast.  I don't like employees who try to buck the system.  For awhile I believed that an HR rep. may have told her incorrect information  By page 4 I am starting to think she is actively misrepresenting that initial meeting.  I hope it is not too late to transfer her and the baby to husband's policy.  Cobra is fine but VERY expensive and of course, ends.[/quote]

HR professional again.

Her loss of benefits through her current employer will trigger a "Qualifying Life Event" for her and her spouse, meaning her can immediately add her to his insurance, as long as they are married and depending on the policies of his employer. I'm not sure why she would need COBRA unless her husband has terrible benefits or they are not really married.[/quote]

THIS.  And 16:00.  Just resign, get your paid leave, and go on your husband's insurance.  Or elect Cobra coverage.  I have a feeling that all this frustration is just to save maybe $200 in additional expense for the employer's portion of your health insurance you'd have to pay with COBRA coverage for the month of august.  maybe for 2 months if you include september so say $400.  Don't be a penny wise and a dollar short.  Do you really want to leave any more of a bad taste in your employer's mouth than you already have by taking a new job and then immediately getting pregnant and planning an exit strategy with the company paying for you to deliver and take a month off?  geez![/quote]
