No matter where you work, you can get a better maternity leave than what your (USA) employer offers—if you know how to ask. Yes, possibly even more paid time off.
Using the strategies in your [Max Maternity Leave] planner, I asked for and got approval for 12 weeks of full pay while on leave. (The company standard is 6 weeks’ pay under their short-term disability policy.) Thank you. Rebecca Jami, Production Manager (for a printing firm), Alexandria, Virginia
Max Maternity Leave equips you to ask for the maternity leave you want—more time with your baby while keeping income flowing— instead of the one that’s offered. (Your employer’s paltry policy was a shocker, wasn’t it?) Here’s another example:
Melissa is a Policy Manager for a non-profit association outside of Washington, DC. It’s so small, there’s no leave policy nor is one required by law. Yet Max Maternity Leave delivered what she wanted.
My Executive Director and the Executive Committee thought the written request was great. They approved my request for 12 weeks leave with 4 paid! An excellent outcome. Melissa H., Arlington, Virginia
A powerful proposal can persuasively challenge the status quo. It’s worth it to nudge the boundaries—especially if you can get paid leave that isn’t otherwise offered. It doesn’t happen every time, but it happens enough to say, “asking works.”
