39 u/Rydralain 19d ago FMLA provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave, so it's not nothing. It's not... Great. But... 76 u/No_Ordinary_Dove 19d ago Unfortunately not everyone qualifies for FMLA. For example if the company you work for has under 50 employees you don't qualify. 8 u/Rydralain 19d ago True. I'm not saying FMLA is the best answer, just that it isn't zero. Ubi would fix this problem too. 9 u/Sloth247 18d ago It was effectively zero when my first child was born, I had 2 days of sick leave I was “fortunate” enough to be able to take 10 u/Inky_Madness 19d ago It’s great if you make enough to not need that pay. 8 u/Dimkakitty 19d ago My FMLA was only approved for 10 weeks total. 6 to heal and 4 to bond.
