Hi Stace:)

Congrats on deciding to start a family! I am so happy for you!

In regards to the FMLA comment - my background is in HR so I can help you out a little to understand it better. Basically the Clinton Administration implemented it and it states that a company has to allow you to take up to 12 weeks off if you meet certain criteria under the FMLA. Pregnancy is definitely covered under this, but so is caring for a sick relative, etc ---it depends they look at it on a case by case basis. On my last assignment I was doing FMLA for our company and some people were applying for it were sick, pregnant or driving sick relatives to there doctors appointments and stuff like that.

Unfortunately, under federal law there is no legal requirement for a company to pay for this leave. It is up to the individual company. I am not 100% sure but I believe some states could have laws requiring companies to pay a portion of your FMLA time off. I know Mass. doesn't. Some companies offer 6 weeks paid---some offer none. Alot of people I know who had a baby would save their vacation and then come back when it ran out---

It's not my place to say this but if you can only take 12 days after your baby comes it seems like it will be rough. I know you were looking for a new job & one with a better leave plan might make things easier for you. Just my .02.

Thank you Jstar sooo much!!!! Thank you for all that info.. good to know.

Yes, I am trying to look for another job!! TotallY!
 
aww thanks Pepper!! I wish so too!
 
NP;)

I forgot to mention - the purpose for FMLA is so that you can take unpaid leave up to 12 weeks without worrying about losing your job. In other words they have to let you come back to your job and can't replace you. This law protects you from that. The law states they must give you your job back or else they have to have a comparable job there to give you when you come back.

Take care sweetie:)
 
ohhh okay!!! Thank you so much for explaining that to me:)

The Company I work for use to pay for the entire leave. Our policy changed last year. The new policy States:

If you have been employed by XXXXXX for at least 12 months and have worked at least 1,250 hours over the previous 12 months, you may request a leave of absence under the Family and Medical leave Act. The following are reasons that may qualify for a requested Paid Leave of Absence:

1. to care for a personal serious health condition which prevents you from performing your job.

2. to care for a parent, spouse or child who has a serious health condition.

3. for the birth of, and to care for a newborn child.

4. to care for a child placed through adoption or foster care.

Medical certification must be submitted for approval and, when ever possible, 30 days advanced notice is required. An approved leave would run concurrently with vacation used for FMLA. If vacation is available, one-half (1/2) of available vacation will be used at the start of continuous FMLA. Length of 12 weeks in any rolling 12 month period measured backward from the date the leave begins.

So then maybe I've been lucky in all the places I've worked for.

exactly
 
Okay. moving on to more positive things...........


Do you want a little girl or a little boy? I know most people do not care about the gender of their child rather care/focus more towards their childs health. BUT, everyone has a dream. What's your dream Stacey?
 
ummmmmmmmm Welllll -- I would like to have a boy b/c My hubby would be OH So happy to take him fishing and hunting..
But I want a little girl so I can dress her up in PINK (LOVE Pink)

I don't care I guess.. Hmmm??? Probably A boy--b/c IF we were to have 2 kids, then I would want a boy to be the oldest since I grew up having my older brother protect me SOOO Much! :)
 
COOOL-- I am FINALLY about to leave work!! It's been slow here.

Will be home hopefully by 5:45PM and then Cody and I will go for a powerwalk, then eat dinner & watch Tv, and lift weights while watching tv!:)

Hope you all have a nice warm night!:)
 
Stacey -- I hope all your dreams come true:kiss:
