You get paid maternity leave if you only work part time? I only get about 22 hours and I've been working for them for about 4 years. I haven't even thought to ask them cause I don't want to feel stupid.. :/

Depends where you live here in canada its all done through the government you need at least 600 hours in the last 52 weeks before birth to qualify

Thank you. So do I contact Hr or my company?

It completely depends on where you work and where you live. When I lived in California, I worked part time and I got short term disability that was paid by the state and I worked part time. I Got paid for 12 weeks. .. 6 weeks post partum and 6 weeks bonding time.... this time around I live in Arizona and they don't offer the same thing. I work full time and am eligibke for FMLA from my work. I qualify for 6 weeks short term disability and get paid 66.66% of my gross pay.  I can also use my sick leave and vacation leave for my FMLA and can take a maximum of 12 weeks off.

You shouldn't feel stupid asking them these questions... they are things you need to know.. I called human resources 2 weeks ago and got all the answers to my questions that I needed.. most of them were just to clarify some information

Only your company will be able to tell you. Every.company chooses what benefits they offer. I work FT. I can take 3 months but it's not paid, but I can go on short term disability if I want to get partial pay. We can't afford that so I'm banking my sick and vacation time, and will work from home after that. Thankfully I have that option.

I'll check into it. Idk, I guess because I feel so intimidated by my boss as it is..

[Ooolala1988]

Ok thanks. I know they're going to let me be out for 6 weeks but pay would be nice as well lol.

Why would you feel stupid? You need to inform yourself of your options. Call HR and find out. I think it's a on your company not laws.

[rebeccaann11]

Your company not offer. But you may qualify for disability and family medical leave act if in california.
