Maternity leave policies are horrible!!! 6 weeks off and only getting paid for 2 weeks. 😑

we're do you work

the affordable care act gives you 12 weeks unpaid, as long as your employer has over 50 employees and you've worked there for 12 months....

It really depends on the state (which I think is crazy.) and place of work. I got 6 weeks before my date for "payed disability", and then another 12 weeks after the birth for my payed maternity leave. Granted, the maternity leave wasn't my full pay, but 40% of my usual pay. That was in California.

@mommycheeks, in Pennsylvania for a non profit company.

@amanda_marcozzi, yes I believe that's why. I've only worked at this company for 9 months. Still sucks.

we dont get paid at all

Yeah don't pay me for having a child I need this job for 😒😒😒 so stupid .

depends on the job I guess I have a union job we get paid for maternity leave I'm on bedrest with disability for six months then maternity pay for 12,week's after I have the babys
