14 weeks. Sick leave doesn’t expire but can’t be used for caretaking only immediate recovery (GP note can get it extended) and then annual leave if you have it (but it expires so you can only have so much).

Lost 2600,ml of blood had postpartum hypertension and infection. Did not qualify.


it is six weeks. You can always take FLMA if company has it or unpaid leave or use sick days. Materinity leave guaranteed is mainly a perk or new employees only. My prior company sick days did not expire so women with company a long time had 50-150 days in the bank. It was a good retention tool. Often women who planned on having a kid would not leave. They give back all those sick days.


Yes I am aware how sick days work and how FMLA works Mansplainer-in-Chief possibly J1 J2 J3 guy.

I was referencing the STD which is separate from FMLA and not all policies cover pregnancy and/or pregnancy-related complications. If I got in a car wreck and lost 2600ml of blood it would be covered. If I had Crohns and got an infection from abscess it would be covered. But a severe hemorrhage and infection as a result of pregnancy/delivery are not covered.




So your husband gave you a STD? That sucks.

Capital One (corporate office in McLean) - 12 weeks for non birthing parent, which was increased from 8 within the last year. I think it's 20 for the birthing parent but not sure.

DC Gov - 8 weeks paid maternity leave with the option to take an additional 8 weeks that you can either take unpaid or use your accrued sick or annual leave to make paid.

Infuriating that DC Gov employees are excluded from DC Paid Family Leave.

Zero in education. We have to use our sick days and then it is unpaid.
