Maternity leave length?

Question

Hello, I am a stay at home mom so am out of the loop when it comes to what is going on in the workplace right now.  Was wondering if you could tell me how long your maternity leave is?

Answer

12 weeks, but I'm only getting paid because I had enough sick leave to cover. They're only required to hold your position for 12 weeks, not pay.

Answer

12 weeks. 6 paid at 60 percent from short term disability. The other 6 unpaid.

Answer

I'm in Canada and get 12 months of official mat leave but the way my company works I still earn paid vacation time while on mat leave so I'll be off close to 14 months!

Answer

I get 12 weeks. Because I have short term disability insurance the first 6 weeks are 100% paid. I also get 2 more weeks at 80% (I think...might be 60%?) because I had a c-section. The remaining 4 weeks fall under FMLA so they're basically just allowing you not to work but not paying you. I'm not sure if my company requires that I use up any saved time off or not though so part of that 4 weeks might end up paid. I had the hardest time getting all this explained to me because my company uses a 3rd party to handle it all.

Answer

I'm a SAHM this time around, but for my first, I was a teacher. You could take up to 12 weeks, but none of it was paid. You could use saved sick leave to cover the first 6 weeks, but anything after that was always unpaid (even if you have more saved leave time).

I had a ton of saved sick leave, so I used that for the first 6 weeks, then took 2 weeks unpaid for 8 weeks total. I could have covered the entire time with my saved leave and was really annoyed they wouldn't let me use it past 6 weeks. They were very firm about only paying for "recovery" time, not "bonding" time.

You'd think education would be more family-friendly.

Answer

I'm in Cali and I get 6 paid through disability and 6 paid thru bonding. And 6 unpaid after that.

Answer

12 weeks 10 paid at 90%, 2 weeks unpaid.

Answer

8 weeks short term disability at 66% pay and 4 weeks no lay. May take that first officially week back off as vacation time so that I would be going back when he's an actual 3 months old.

Answer

In the UK. I get 12 months maternity. 4.5 months full pay 4.5 months statutory pay 3 month unpaid. I also have this year holiday allowance of 8 weeks and in theory next year's holiday allowance which is another 8 weeks. So if I wanted to I could take 16 months off..  that said I love my job and am looking forward to my time off with my little man and watching him learn and grow however I am also looking forward to going back to work so I won't be taking the full time off I think. Maybe just 12 months and then take my holiday for next year as normal xx

Answer

8 weeks fully paid, 13 weeks half pay, 13 weeks of government subsidy. Up to~9 months total for me.

I had the option of 13 weeks of unpaid but cant afford it.

This is in the UK.
