Hello to you, and thanks again for taking the time to view and answer my questions - this is awsome!!
I just found out I’m pregnant (Happy). I went through my employee handbook to find out what is said about maternity leave and to my surprise; there is little to nothing at all. My human resource informed me that in order to still get a pay check while I’m on leave I would have to use up my Vacation/Personal/Sick time – which combined, is probably three weeks at best…..
I would like your advice on what my next step would be? I was told to apply for New York State disability (NY SUI/SDI) – which taken from my check biweekly. I called and was told the maximum benefit is $170 a week…. I do however have short term and long term disability – would I be able to use either/both for maternity leave?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks again…….
