Anonymous wrote:The part this is depressing about this to me is the idea of leave without pay. I know many people on this board are in high income families, but I'm guessing many of us are not. The flexibility of getting off work with no pay is like a fairy tale to me. My family needs my income. Hell, they could give me 6 months off, I wouldn't be able to take it if it was unpaid. Thanks to the PP who posted the DC bill link. I definitely am reviewing that now.

I was under the impression that short-term disability (6 weeks at 2/3 salary) and FMLA were separate, but my employer's benefit administrator ran mine concurrently. Took off ~14 weeks total for a standard vaginal delivery.
I'm a DC resident and work at at hospital.
Grateful to have the extra 4 week allowance for being a DC resident, but our system sucks.

None.
None is guaranteed paid, but some employers provide some paid leave as part of it.
There's a bill before the DC council that would guarantee paid parental leave, but it's not passed yet.
