Hello, I am going to be going on FMLA in June and was wondering if anyone had a case like this. During my maternity leave I would like to propose to my HR department to adjust my hours from 40 per week to 32 per week, which would still be considered full time with my employer. Doing so would...

I have a question about FMLA. If you requested to go back to work early but changed your mind last minute will they still approve/add back the 4 weeks of bonding time? It is currently “pending” and I put in the request to reverse it yesterday. Long story short - I thought I was ready to go back...

Hi everyone, Over the weekend I unfortunately had. Miscarriage, with minimal bleeding and no clots until I passed something last night. If you are comfortable I have a photo of what I passed, however as I was 6+0 it didn’t make sense to me to see a placenta, cord and fetus(?) all attached...

Is there a better group for this? I work in MA and yes I will discuss with my employer but looking for any personal experience first. If I take paid family medical leave for maternity, does anyone know of I am legally able to work per diem/ad hoc somewhere else? Unrelated to my agency? I am...

I was wondering if anyone could provide a recommendation for a pair of joggers (tapered leg) that can be dressed up (not lounge/sweatpant joggers). This is usually my go-to for summer months, particularly here in the UK when the weather isn’t too hot. I’ve worn Albion Fit joggers, but I don’t...
