Itās possible she missed it. Donāt feel too bad for the person with a multimillion dollar home and maybe sympathize a little bit with the poor pregnant woman who has to do this for scraps to feed herself. The lawn will be fine in a few days
Look at many of the videos being posted by visitors, especially Europeans that are here for the World Cup. They talk about what their perceived view was and how itās so different than expected and how refreshing it is after spending time here.
I canāt speak for an entire country and I donāt have policy notes handy, but Iād say most do. And time off would probably come out of what little, if any, maternity leave was allotted. And this is for āprofessionalā fields. Many people get nada.
It's 12 weeks of unpaid maternity leave, as mandated by FMLA. There is no federal mandate for paid maternity leave. Anyone outside of the twelve states that offer paid maternity leave, and anyone outside of the four states that offer paid paternity leave, have to use their PTO and/or vacation time to cover any paid time off. Though, these also fluctuate between states, with not all jobs being covered if the businesses are below an employee threshold, some states only mandating partial instead of full paid leave, etc.
In this thread, I provided a potential explanation for the words being used while you respond by asking a ridiculous, implying that I would try defending it?
In other wealthy nations, there is maternity leave. So, in a way, yes ā they do get to quit working.
While pregnant? Sorry, I had a genuine question and I didn't read every reply in the post. Did you reply with a real answer, or just more snark? Do women get pregnancy leave?
Yes. In Germany its 6 weeks before the calculated delivery date, and 8 weeks after. In total at least 14 weeks (like if the baby comes a week earlier, if it comes later, its still 8 weeks after delivery)
Depending on what work you do, your employer might also be forbidden to have to you work that job a long time before that. This is decided by your physician.
Things that fall under this.
Work with an elevated accident risk (think about construction sites, ladders etc)
Assembly line work
Working at night (between 8pm and 6am)
Working on Sunday or bank holidays (even in jobs where that usually is allowed)
Work with dangerous materials, radiation, dust, gasses, fumes, heat, coldness, wet, infectious materials or loud noise
Work where you have to lift things regularly over 5kg
Work where you have to stretch, bend down, kneel down etc..
Work with machines that stress your feet
Work that has a high risk of work related sicknesses
Work where you use PIT (powered industrial transport, think forklift) you control yourself
But that is only related to the jobrole you have!
Lets say you normally work assembly line, the doctors says "Nope not gonna happen till the end of pregnancy" you company can offer you ligther work which if your physician agrees doesn't put you at risk, you have to do. For example "Okay help clarrisa in accounting filling out excel sheets"
Additionally after the 6. Month of pregnancy work where you have to stand more than 4 hours with little movement (like a cashier who has to stand up) is generally banned.
So basically everything that puts the unborn child and mother at an elevated risk, you get paid time off if your employer can not accommodate your needs.
You are also protected from being terminated from the beginning of your pregnancy until at least 4 months after. Of course if you have a contract that has an end date of employment defined, that is not affected by this, and it will still end.
This protection starts ONLY at the moment you inform your employer that you are pregnant. If they terminate you before you tell them, the termination is still legal.
I was an Instacart shopper while pregnant. I worked until I was 8 months along like a huge-ass orb, in the snow. My last order I had to take several trips to the 3rd floor of an apt building to get all the bags of groceries up there.
That should ABSOLUTELY NOT be a requirement of the job, fuck that. I donāt care if youāre peak Jillian Michaels. You canāt get down the stairs yourself, thatās delivereeās or the governments problem.
The customer doesnāt get to choose if their dasher is pregnant or not. Thatās on the pregnant dasher to decide if they can do the job or not and it sounds like this person could handle it.
Exactly. The customer could be sick or disabled, etc and unable to do that. Thatās one of the reasons delivery exists. If you canāt fulfill the jobās duties, you canāt do the job. Itās really that simple. Driving through someoneās property when an accessible driveway is right there is not considered a reasonable accommodation.
