What to do if you go into labor at work

Question

Are you suppose to just clock out and leave or isnwork suppose to call an ambulance? Do you pay for the ambulance or does work since you were clocked in? Anyone know. I plan on working up to my due date

Answer

Don't use an ambulance unless it's an emergency. Just being in labor isn't an "emergency" unless something is wrong. Work would not cover it so you would pay for the ride. Just tell your boss, clock out, and leave. If you can't drive yourself see if someone can or call a nearby friend/family member to drive you.

Answer

I don’t think work would pay since you didn’t need the ambulance because of a work related injury.

Answer

you would just tell your boss that you are in labor and clock out and go home/hospital. calling an ambulance is completely unneed unless there is an emergency and yours or baby's life is in serious danger. And you are always billed for an ambulance ride. So if your personal insurance wont cover it then you will be billed.

Answer

Just clock out and drive yourself or have someone else drive you to the hospital. No, work wouldn't pay for an ambulance and I personally wouldn't take one because it's super expensive and I wouldn't consider being in labor an emergency. Especially because you typically have some warning before the baby actually comes. Are you far from the hospital?

Answer

I would just let work know that your due date is that close and ask them what they prefer you do , I'm sure if you bring it up they would be better for letting you just leave if you needed too

Answer

Yes they might call an ambulance but they might not and no they dont pay for it thats why you have health insurance its not their responsibility to pay unless you have a work related injury
