California offers up to 12 weeks of paid maternity leave through the state's Paid Family Leave (PFL) program.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The United States does not have federally mandated paid maternity leave because there is no specific law requiring it. While the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid job-protected leave, it does not guarantee paid leave. The absence of paid maternity leave is due to a variety of historical, cultural, and political factors that have shaped labor policies in the country.

NO you can not lose your pay. If you are back to work light duty and need to see the work comp doctor or therapy then you receive your pay and work comp * If you are out of work due to an injury you WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR REGULAR PAYCHECK from your employer. In a nut shell; you go to work, your employer pays you. If you cannot go to work due to a workmens comp claim you will have to file for comp from the State or the insurer. In the State of Nevada you only receive about 45 cents on the dollar compaired to what you would receive had you worked for your employer. * WCI benefits are paid to a worker when the person cannot perform the duties attributed to his or her job. The employee CANNOT receive regular pay and WCI benefits at the same time.

How long must you work to collect maternity benefits?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To qualify for Statutory Maternity Pay, you must satisfy the continuous employment rule.

You must have been employed by your employer for a continuous period of at least 26 weeks into the qualifying week (which is the 15th week before the week in which the baby is due). This period must include at least one day's employment in the qualifying week. You count the weeks back from the Sunday beginning the week in which the baby is expected.

Although continuous employment usually means employment by the same employer without a break, there are some circumstances when breaks in employment can be disregarded. The employment rule may be modified slightly if your baby is born prematurely.

Do pediatricians have sick leave?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If a pediatrician works for a hospital then yes they have sick leave, but they need to call in so that another pediatrician can see their patients. If a pediatrician is in private practice, they don't usually have sick leave, but can try to call another pediatrician to see their patients for them. If they can get someone to cover them, then they can take off, if not, then they have to come in.

Can you travel while on short term disability?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are receiving benefits from Social Security Disability Insurance, your moving will not affect the reception of benefits at all. Make sure to alert your Security office of your change of address so that you continue to receive correspondence from Social Security and your checks as well.

If you are receiving benefits from Supplemental Security Insurance, moving could change the amount you receive in benefits, and it can also alter your eligibility to receive benefits at all. Some states add a payment to the federal SSI and detract this payment from your check each month. If you are moving from a state with no supplementary payment to one that does have one, your disability check will be slightly smaller in the new state. Disability benefits are also tied to income, so if your income changes, your disability payment will likely change as well. Call your local security office if you have any questions or concerns regarding your disability payments.
