To working moms: I’m currently at 7 months and really struggle to keep up with work. I forget things, get emotional over emails, always tired and have a hard time to concentrate. My physical condition is def not at its best. I got a huge project couple months ago and things are so messy. I plan to take maternity leave and use pto on top of that after birth. Is there a way I can take absence for couple of weeks before the due date? Has anyone had a similar situation?

Your STD does not start until you have the baby. Then you have to take 1 week of PTO before STD officially kicks in. I recommend really winding down and taking a lot of Time off leading up to the birth but not necessarily starting your leave then. Like take 3 days a week off or something. If you live in California you also get the month before birth off based on state law.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
