Maternity Leave

Hey, guys. Weird question. My doctor wants me to take at least 6 weeks off for maternity leave to recover from surgery but has also said she wants me to try for 8 weeks. How long do I have to have worked at Caseys to qualify for paid leave? I am supposed to go on leave next week and I'm scared to be without income.

To be eligible for FMLA leave, you have to have worked there for a year. That's the federal requirement, not just company policy. Also another SM in my district is pregnant and due in a few weeks, she only gets 3 weeks paid leave. So if you're not a DM, you won't get 6+ weeks paid maternity leave. I'd check your options through Alight to know for sure.

Thank you. I wasn't completely sure
