Archived Qualifying for maternity leave

[Asuras]

How many hours does a TM need to work a week to qualify for maternity leave? I have a TM that is pregnant and want to ensure she gets the minimum needed.

1-800-828-5850 is the Target leave and disability number. She can call that to see.

She did try, they said 19 hours, ETL/HR/Website said 31+. We are both getting conflicting information.

 

[Yetive]

Ah. I couldn't find anything specific. We had someone come back a bit ago. I can ask her when I see her.

 

[BackroomAlpha]

Damn, i hope she gets it.

On short term disability, you need to have 1200 hours now to get it now. Don't forget FMLA.

Questions to ask. Paperwork needs to processed by your hr on type of leave or disability.

HLG is right. The first step is total hours. We had a new hire who had the average hours but was still in their 90. I believe after 1200 it kicks in.

 

[Yetive]

According to my tm, after 1200 hours, 2 weeks paid and up to 12 weeks fml regardless of avg hours.

Thanks Yetive, also requires being employed at least 12 months.
