FAQ
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides certain employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year. It also requires that their group health benefits be maintained during the leave.
Employers must treat employees who are pregnant the same as they would treat any other employee who is temporarily disabled or restricted in work abilities. A pregnant employee who has work limitations must receive the same reasonable accommodations that other employees with work restrictions receive.
Once you tell your boss and colleagues that you're pregnant, set up a meeting with your HR rep. You need to give at least 30 days' notice for FMLA, but it's best to know as far in advance as possible what your options are. This is also a good time to talk to co-workers who also went on leave from your company.
What is the California New Parent leave Act? The California New Parent Leave Act (NPLA) is a law that provides eligible employees of smaller businesses with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job protected leave to bond with a new child.
Generally, to take FMLA leave an employee must notify the employer at least 30-days in advance and follow the employer's policy for requesting leave. If an advance notice is not possible, such as because of a change in events or a medical emergency, notice must be given as soon as practicable.
Typically, you must notify your employer, preferably in writing, of your intent to take leave under the program. You also need to advise your employer of the expected time and duration of your leave. Notice should be given at least 30 days in advance, or, if that is not possible, as quickly as possible. 3.
Share your exciting news in a clear and direct manner. For example, ``I wanted to let you know that I'm pregnant, due in (month), and I'd like to start working with you in (month) on a plan for my maternity leave''
I would start the planning and documenting part earlier than 34 weeks, since it's not unusual at all to give birth a few weeks prior to your due date. I suggest you assume you may give birth at 37 or 38 weeks, and try to be ready for the handoff of your work tasks at that time.
Depending on the company set up, you want to call HR and say you need to talk about the maternity leave policy. The rep will usually ask when your due date is and then explain the policy based on that. Then ask them to send you an email after with the information.
I'm excited to share with you the good news that I'm pregnant. I'm due on your due date and I'm hoping to work until your planned date before taking maternity leave. Over the next few months, I'll work to create a detailed plan ensuring all of my projects and duties are completed or delegated to other team members.
