Bob Chill Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm loving seeing folks come home with healthy newborn newborns! Congrats M g! I paid my dues with 4 kids and now that my 2 youngest are 8 I feel like I kinda have it made. Those early years are magical and all but man, they will take a toll on your brain. Luckily they pass really quick. Good advice: newborns love Baileys. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Mike Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks, everyone! As I work in HR in DC, I know this one pretty well. The Fed Gov allows 12 weeks of FMLA for the birth of a child. If the employer is in DC, they are required to offer up to 16 weeks. This can be taken all at once, or it can be taken intermittently. None-the-less, you get at least 12 weeks (unpaid). FMLA does not offer any form of compensation, just protection for your position. Let me know if you need anymore information, I could go on for days on this stuff.

TowsonWeather Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Speaking of babies and snowstorms, my wife is scheduled for a c-section for our second kid on February 5th. So it's basically a lock that we'll have an epic blizzard that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Wife had the baby early yesterday morning. No snowbaby, but we're thrilled. Does anyone know a competent HR person working for the federal government? The head of HR at my wife's organization (a DoD org) is claiming she only gets six weeks for FMLA because she may need to use the additional time of the 12 FMLA weeks later in the year to take the baby to the doctor, etc. They obviously don't know the law, but how can you win that battle against an HR department? Well congratulations on the new addition. Thats awesome to hear!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Going 700 days without using a snow shovel kinda takes the fun out of this hobby. It's like saying "golf is one of my favorite hobbies but I haven't played in 2 years". What's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
