[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]

I work at a large consulting company and everyone gets 25 days (5 weeks) vacation from day 1. We accrue it at 9 hours per pay period and there is no vesting period - you can use it as you earn it. You also continue to earn it while on maternity leave which is paid for 6 weeks (8 with a Drs note for C section or other complication). If OP worked for my company, this story could make sense, but I don't know anyone who takes leave before the baby. Everyone saves it up to make it a paid 10-12 weeks (maternity + PTO). Most people save in advance and take 4 months off. Hard to understand how OP didn't take ANY leave for OB appointments though to have saved enough PTO for a month off after 9 months. [/quote]
