How easy is it to use your PTO all at once? Need them for the wedding. Only been working for less than 6 months and kinda scared to ask. If i need more off days than the PTOs (it could be unpaid as well), how does it work? Its a small firm in chicago

I think you need to speak to your HR about that. Every company has its own policy so we can never really tell. It's better to read your policy again and ask HR and your manager if they can do you a favor for your wedding.

Every firm is different. Some won't let you go into the negative or take unpaid. Some will, with limits. Some require special approval over a certain amount of time. How much are you trying to take? I can't imagine you have a ton with less than 6 Months of work.

don’t worry - just take what you need and don’t be afraid to ask for it. You do what you have to do / let the company do what they have to do

Just talk to your manager. It’s very company and team dependent. Did you know your wedding date when you started? If you didn’t mention it when you started they might be a bit pissed about it.

C1 I know very few people who don’t know they’re getting married less than 6 months before the big day. Unless you’re eloping it take a fair bit of planning

Check policy and prepare a reason why you need the time off that you’re requesting with details. You’re more likely to have it accepted if you demonstrate knowledge of firm policy and can present a valid reason why you need the time.

just figure out the time you need and ask for it. Let them figure out how they want to account for it with their time policy

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?
