What would happen if I left my current company, started at a new one, and got pregnant before 12 months of service with the new company? For reference, I know new company requires 12 months for FMLA, and STD is 3 months.

If I’m not eligible for FMLA, what would that leave situation look like? Not currently pregnant but husband and I are wanting to start trying soon, just don’t want to be in a situation where I can’t take maternity leave. TIA!

FMLA is just job protection, no other benefit. So, technically it means they could fire or lay you off while you’re out (if you’re not eligible, that is).

Moreover, make sure you understand how many weeks of STD you qualify for and what (if any) additional bonding leave your company provides, and how long you need to be employed to be eligible.

For example, my firm is 12 weeks of FMLA. But to get paid, I have 4 weeks STD (post natal), and then 12 weeks of bonding, for a total of 16 weeks of paid leave of absence.

I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
