Maternity Leave approved!
My maternity leave plan was approved yesterday, woohoo! This is a huge relief, the theater I work for is a fairly small non-profit and incredibly in the 10 years it's been open no one has needed maternity leave. Our employee handbook has 2 sentences about using short term disability and that's it.
They are really supportive though and between short term disability and vacation time, I will be paid for 11 of the 12 weeks that I am taking off. This is huge relief.
Now I wonder how they are going to react when I proposing working from home 2 days a weeks once she is born.
Re: Maternity Leave approved!
That's awesome to get 11 weeks paid!! GL getting the two days to work from home, too.
great news!
at my company, they don't really care about a solid return-to-work/telecommuting plan until you're already on leave - my friend at work who had a baby 2 years ago didn't have to formally propose her plan until about 4-6 weeks before her return (she took 12 weeks mat leave)
