When is the good time to tell the company that I am 3 months pregnant. My date of joining is 18th of July. I understand by law I need to finish 80days with the company before I avail maternity benefits which I can easily do in next 3 months.
I want to understand if women who go on maternity leave during probation are treated differently or if there will be discrimination once I let them know about my situation. Wipro Accenture Allstate Quantiphi analytics pvt ltd.

Jpmc ka onsite scene kaisa h ?
I am working in capgemini and my visa is also ready for Germany. But i am thinking of refusing it since my father is critically ill. I would love to go onsite once he is healthy, it was always my dream. Does JPMC gave onsite opportunities? Maybe after few years ?

I just gave birth ten days ago. I didn’t ask for reduced hours and I worked 200+ hours every month I was pregnant… no one cared and it was rough. If you don’t ask, don’t expect anyone to voluntarily lighten your load or give you any grace. I went off at 36 weeks as my firm offered fully paid short term disability leave starting then if approved by our insurance provider (Prudential). I believe this is a thing in at least a few states, like NY and CA, so worth asking HR about. The extra four weeks were marvellous and the time doesn’t impact post-birth leave in any way.
I really wish I had, but this will vary. I did not go on reduced hours when pregnant and just got comfortable with not hitting my hours and dealing with the consequences. (No bonus but confident that my job was not at risk, so YMMV.) I thought I was avoiding an unnecessary pay cut. And I think that is true a lot of places.
However, I later learned that not hitting my hours has a lagging effect on my comp that I have to kind of dig out of. Had I gone on a reduced schedule and met the lower target while pregnant, there would have been a “true up” of my hours that would have helped me get back on track faster later.
Long story short, learn how comp works for a reduced schedule and coming back from a reduced schedule.

It’s really encouraged at my firm and it’s something I always assumed I’d do (not least because it’s much easier from a progression perspective as you’re assessed against a lower target). But I’ve just recently found out I’m pregnant and I don’t really fancy my mat leave being on a reduced salary (more than it already would be…)
