I was told by my employer I could take 12 weeks leave even though I do not qualify under FMLA. There are about 10 people working at my location in CA and more than 200 at our corporate office in NC. I was advised I could take that leave before or after my pregnancy.
My question is, I have been having severe lower back problems from sitting all day (I have sedentary office job) and my Ob-Gyn offered to shorten my work hours. If I do that, will my employer force me to take that time off from the 12 weeks? I want to spend as much time as I can with my baby when she is born so if it means suffering until the last day then I will have to suffer. I am at 25 weeks right now so I still have a while to go.
I was just wondering how the California Pregnancy Disability act worked with FMLA, are they separate? If I take time off using the California Pregnancy Disability Act, can I still take my 12 weeks under FMLA?
Thank you.
