Maternity leave notice
Hello,
I am a PCS employee and been with city about 2 years.
It is my first baby and i am just about to start my 2nd trimester and it should be the time to tell my supervisor and manager.
All city position is now freezing and every team is on vacancy. I feel bad to take a long maternity leave.
How does maternity leave work here? Should I exhaust all my pto and sick time before taking it? Looks like I can take SDI for 10 weeks (4 weeks before due and 6 weeks after) but I cannot take more than 16 weeks for city paid parental leave?
Is that possible I can take part time work( 20 hours a week) to use my 16 weeks parental leave instead of taking the full 4 months? So that I can take care of work and baby the same time.
Any chance I can get more telework days during or after pregancy? Looks like it is hard.
Any moms recently taking maternity leave can give suggestions! Thank you all!
