So jealous of those with 52 weeks, paid! Goodness gracious!
At my current job, I would have my job guaranteed for 16 weeks because I live in TN. However, I would only have 2 weeks paid. I think they have some short term disability plan, but I'm not clear on the details. I hope to not be at this job when we have a LO.

NOTHING!!! Unless of course you qualify for FMLA, but my company does not offer anything at all.
-
@daniellemybelle: oh really? I'm in TN too so learned something new
-
@runnerd: That's what I've heard but maybe I'm wrong!

It depends on the position within the company.
-
I'll get 52 weeks at 55% of my salary (thanks Canadian Government!) and my employer gives me 30 days full pay. It's not a great program - many employers top up to 75% or more but I'm not complaining.
-
12 weeks paid with FMLA
-
I'll be the first but I'm pretty sure ill just have my job held and that's only bc the company has decided to offer it bc we are smaller than 50 ppl.

NZ std is 14 weeks paid leave (unless bed rest is required in which case you can go on short term sickness benefit). As a teacher, my school is required to hold my job for me for one year, I can request they hold it for two years and I get preferential employment for similar positions at the school for up to five years (this is obviously a little harder to police). I can also apply for a maternity grant once a baby is born, giving me an additional six weeks pay (bringing the total to 20 weeks paid). Not too shabby, although a year paid sounds amazing!

I feel fortunate to work for a public school system. I had six weeks of maternity leave time that was full pay and benefits using sick days. After that I had twelve weeks of FMLA time with benefits but no pay (I got reimbursed some money from the federal government) then I have the remainder of the school year (5 months since DD was born exactly at the start of the new school year) for child rearing with the option of a second year which I will take. Under child rearing they hold my job but no pay or benefits. So a total of two full years.
-
We don't get anything, and we don't even have short-term disability. And I'm full-time, salaried, benefits, etc.
So basically, I'll need to get a different job if we ever decide we want kids.

I'm eligible for FMLA (unpaid) up to 12 weeks. I am required to use up any PTO if i file for the FMLA. Fun to be a new mom in the USA isn't it!!
-
20 weeks: 7 weeks at 60% of my salary (ca std + company's coverage), 6 weeks at 55% of salary (fmla) and 7 weeks 100% covered (using all my pto!)
The hubs will be taking 1 month paternity leave once our guy is born.
I'm so grateful I'm able to take off 5 months with the little dude!
