maternity leave
Exchange ideas about health plans, retirement, work/life benefits, and employee assistance.
We are a company of 13 employees and are trying to design a fair maternity leave policy. I was hoping to find other companies around our size and find out what they are doing.

I don't know of any companies that small, but the average uncomplicated maternity is 6 weeks. It doesn't have to be paid, but if people have sick and vacation accumulated they can use that to cover the absence. |

To be PC correct "maternity leave" should be phrased and categorized as short term disability. My company issues 6 weeks for vaginal and 8 weeks for cesarian. Since your company does not qualify for FMLA, I would recommend that all sick time be used first, earned vacation time used second, accrued vacation time used third. FYI this policy should be established for ALL employees - male and female- to avoid discrimination. |
