Mamas in CA, for the baby bonding time, do you need to take the 6 weeks straight? Or can you divide…

My husband was able to divide them into two three week periods! But I think you can break them up even more.

you can break it up within the year & it's 12 weeks not just 6

@mrzhyde, oh okay thabks

@lucyyxoxo_, really? my job told me six. omgh thank you! I'm gonna look into it

@lucyyxoxo_, wait this is just baby bonding? like after you give birth?

Yeah it's called FMLA or family medical leave act and you get 12. At least that's what California gives for mothers. For fathers it's 6.

Yeah FMLA 12 weeks.

Yes you can split it up as you like

But I believe the fmla is different than the pfl (paid family leave) (bonding)because that is only 6 weeks

yeah I think I only qualify for the pfl @mrscruz0530

It's 6 weeks paid and 6 weeks unpaid but excused from your job.
