XOXO

Jenny....when is the last day of school at your school and when is your due date?

I think what Angela said is right...if you leave before the end of the yr u dont get paid thru the summer....stinks

this is where get confused....i can understand not getting paid for the reason f u just want to leave early..b4 the due date

but if its for medical reasons..for the health of her and the baby there is no exception for that??

jenny i am on this..im so mad for you..im taking to peeps and going to talk to tommy's mother..she teaches in catholic school

I'm no expert, but I don't think employers have to differentiate between pregnancy-related health issues and non-pregnancy related health issues. I needed major surgery a few years ago and had to be out of work for 8 weeks. I had to take an unpaid disability leave. The policy was the same there for maternity leave -- you could take up to 12 weeks off, but it was unpaid.

Jenny, I'm pretty sure this is true for city teachers as well. If you give birth too close to the end of the year you lose some of your summer pay because you didn't work the whole year. It super s u c k s but I don't think your principal has any control over the situation.

but if i gave birth during the year i would have maternity ? i dont understand

---

I don't really understand completely either but I think you would get the six weeks or whatever it is after the baby's born. My sister who's a teacher in NC did not get maternity leave before the baby was born - she had to go on disability too.

---

I'm wrong. After the baby is born you get to use days you have in your CAR as your 'maternity leave' - other than that, you do not get a paid maternity leave. You can also use that family medical leave thing but those days are also unpaid. So overall I guess it stinks to be a teacher having a baby.

---

Thats how it is for us...we dont get paid leave other than our sick days...Im so sorry this happened...I would absolutely look further into it thoguh!

Is that even legal? I am so sorry!!

I dont even care about the weeks before not getting paid...


ITs the fact that everyone else takes maternity and get paid for the summer... but because if i take off towards the end, I dont get paid for summer- NO ONE WORKS in the summer... and they all get paid...
