Family life question! Pregnant with my 1st, due in March. I'm interviewing for a new job, so looking for advice on how/when to divulge this info. I know I'm not obligated to during the hiring process, but I also don't want to start a new professional relationship with the feeling I'm hiding something. Other concern is ensuring I'm eligible for leave at less than 6 mos tenure. How can I find out without making it obvious? Thanks for any advice! This is all new/scary territory in my career.

Also, you would not be eligible for 12 weeks of FMLA if you have worked less than one year and 1250 hours.

I wouldn’t divulge this during the interview process as unfortunately, there may be a stigma out there. However, I would suggest having an honest conversation immediately after signing the offer letter and completing any background/drug testing required. I’ve had new hires go this route regarding sensitive information (pregnancy, transitioning name change, medical conditions) and it is a much more positive experience for everyone if we can properly plan for the training and first few months with the facts in mind. I have also had people wait until a few days/weeks in and it’s a major disruption to the ability to plan accordingly. I would advise you to know your rights and be prepared to navigate some potentially negative feelings.

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
