[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]

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]

Your post is confusing. Do you get 25 days of PTO or 25 days of vacation? They are very different.

25 days of vacation would mean you also earn sick leave. 25 days PTO means you must use your PTO for sick OR vacation time. [/quote]
