mattie g Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Wife had the baby early yesterday morning. No snowbaby, but we're thrilled. Does anyone know a competent HR person working for the federal government? The head of HR at my wife's organization (a DoD org) is claiming she only gets six weeks for FMLA because she may need to use the additional time of the 12 FMLA weeks later in the year to take the baby to the doctor, etc. They obviously don't know the law, but how can you win that battle against an HR department?

Ian Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Everyone bustin' high on the temps right now... 10°F radiational cooling inversion settling in. looks like one of those nights where everyone drops to near lows early. south wind at dca now.. should spread across the area. if they don't drop more than a few more degrees lows should generally verify.

Congrats! Not a snow baby but a torchaby. And I think your initial question is impossible to answer. There is no such thing as a competent person working in HR. Good luck with it all. At least you should be able to sleep. No storms to track. Might need a warm temps contest for this heat wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations to you and your wife!! I hope everything went well. Enjoy your time in the hospital while you are there, things get real when you get home As for the HR question - I am taking 6 weeks of short term leave (at a reduced pay), and will take an additional week without pay. By law you are allowed 12 weeks total. I could take more without pay if I want to, but right now I'm only taking 7 total before heading back to work. Sounds like your wife's HR department doesn't know what they are talking about. Good luck and if you have any questions/need advice, feel free to shoot me a PM!

Bob Chill Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm loving seeing folks come home with healthy newborn newborns! Congrats M g! I paid my dues with 4 kids and now that my 2 youngest are 8 I feel like I kinda have it made. Those early years are magical and all but man, they will take a toll on your brain. Luckily they pass really quick. Good advice: newborns love Baileys. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Mike Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks, everyone! As I work in HR in DC, I know this one pretty well. The Fed Gov allows 12 weeks of FMLA for the birth of a child. If the employer is in DC, they are required to offer up to 16 weeks. This can be taken all at once, or it can be taken intermittently. None-the-less, you get at least 12 weeks (unpaid). FMLA does not offer any form of compensation, just protection for your position. Let me know if you need anymore information, I could go on for days on this stuff.

TowsonWeather Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Speaking of babies and snowstorms, my wife is scheduled for a c-section for our second kid on February 5th. So it's basically a lock that we'll have an epic blizzard that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
