WA will also get an additional 4 weeks unpaid starting Jan 2020 in addition to the 16 weeks at 100% paid.
You can take up to an additional 365 days as an unpaid leave of absence but there is no job protection after the additional LOA; meaning you need to find a project within 30 days (I think) otherwise it’s considered a voluntary separation. Haven’t taken leave yet but planning to later next year.
Congratulations! 16 weeks is fully paid, if you’re in NY,NJ or cali the states have family paid leave and you can get a few extra weeks in addition to the 16 off but it will be at 50% or so of your pay. Your HR leave rep is off shore and they are a complete mess with getting your claim in, will ask you for the same paperwork you already submit over and over again and if you reach out to them with questions you get the run around. So just be patient. You’re still getting pay from ACN it’s just for their end with Cigna.
The 16 weeks will go by so fast so please enjoy every moment with your little one.
Transitioning back was difficult and I had some
Baby blue but my directs were understanding and did not overwhelm me for the first few weeks.
Also legacy ACN moms told me to make sure I returned full time and not part time. horror stories where moms came back part time/ took a hit on salary and ended up working extra hours to the company for free!
Really helpful thank you! I don’t live in NY, NJ, or CA. Do you know how many weeks are offered if the state doesn’t have family leave? Also if you don’t mind me asking what level were you when you had your child(ren)?
It’s 16 weeks fully paid. Cant comment on transitioning back.
Experience of multiple people on my team, and policy. Not my own experience.
What???? I am applying today!
That is awesome for moms. My current company only gives about 7 weeks of paid leave....
That’s a joke, what firm? It’s 2020, 3 months should be minimum
Do Dads get 16 weeks too?
This is US specific, I think other countries have different leave amounts for both maternity and paternity
Incredibly helpful. Thanks again! 🙏
