How long do I have to take family medical leave?

You must complete all of the FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) benefits within 12-months after birth or adoption. This period includes any other current periods of unpaid leave taken before giving birth such as sick days and vacation days. When combined, this makes one large timeframe for taking care of yourself and your new child.

 

Are there any other factors that affect my eligibility for receiving maternity leave?

As a result of one or more pregnancy-related conditions, you will need to take off work and suffer from reduced income during this time when it is very critical for your family’s financial needs.

However, if FMLA does not apply to you because either your company has less than 50 employees or you have worked less than 12 months with them then, unfortunately, you will receive no protection under federal law. You can however file a complaint at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) if workplace discrimination were involved against pregnant women.

 

Pregnancy Discrimination: Is It Illegal To Fire Pregnant Workers In The US?

Though the law protects pregnant women in the workplace from being discriminated against or fired for their pregnancy, many people still get away with it. In fact, according to a study released by American Progress, more than one-third of working mothers had been harassed at work because they were pregnant. There are several reasons why employers may want to discriminate against expecting mothers including lack of productivity and health insurance costs associated with maternity leave.

There is an exception that allows private sector employers who have 50 or more employees within 75 miles of your worksite location to be exempted from this requirement under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) which was passed in 1978. However, even if FMLA does not apply to you then there is some protection under federal law for expecting mothers.

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requires larger employers to provide employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave a year for several reasons including caring for newborn or newly adopted children, recovering from serious health conditions, etc. Employers are only required to comply if they have 50 or more employees working within 75 miles of your worksite location.

 

What happens if I don’t return to work after maternity leave NHS?

If you don’t return to work, your employer can hold on to any of the SMP that they would otherwise have had to pay you. They could also ask for repayment of some or all of your Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) if:

-You only worked a very small number of hours during one week and then went back on leave – this is called ‘week counting’. For example, if in one week at work before going back on maternity leave you were paid £50 but entitled to receive £150 as full-time earnings from your contract with them, you will be asked by HMRC to repay £100 (£150 minus £50). You should not lose out.

-You did not return to work after the ordinary week of maternity leave in which your baby is due (also known as ‘returning’) – you can only do this if returning would be too difficult because of illness or injury, or there was a genuine risk to your health and safety.

-You went back on parental leave 31 weeks into the SMP period for which you claimed it. If an employer has already paid some Statutory Maternity Pay but then decides that they want repayment, HMRC will give them details of how much needs repaying so that collection can take place under their arrangements with employers.
