I am allowed up to 1 year for maternity/parental leave. I plan to breastfeed, etc. so perfect. The employer can not refuse nor change your position, you are eligilble to start the leave up to 8 weeks prior to your expected delivery date.
I work a full time management position (logistics, transportation, customs for a large corporation). My position is 2 FT management positions in one. I can't leave for a day without things falling apart - have a ton of holidays left because I am only allowed to take them if I find coverage, and no one will cover for this position!! They all say "I wouldn't know how to deal with it." It is very busy and stressful. I've saved up for Christmas holidays all year so I could see my family (far away), I booked it off months in advance. Without coverage I can't take it.
My boss won't replace my position, wants me to come back early and leave later (4wks), wants me to do all the contracts a year in advance, and is talking about putting me somewhere else

when I return to work. I am so stressed out now, and can barely handle my workload, nevermind doing all the work for a year in advance. I hate the idea that I am stuck here for Christmas, and am thinking of exercising my rights to start my leave 8 weeks prior to my expected delivery date. Is this the answer though?

I have made a ton of noticeable positive and efficient changes in this position, and I am not the type of person to just "give up"... I just feel taken for granted, and I know I could do half the job for twice the pay anywhere else in Canada, so it really urks me to be treated with such disrespect - I know my value.

it sounds like you have issues with your job that have nothing to do with maternity leave. you need to request your leave in whatever manner the law stipulates where you are. until you go on leave you need to perform your duties as normal. do not give your employer a reason to terminate your employment but at the same time you do not have to do more then normally expected. good luck with the pregnancy.

If you're happening go away in 2 weeks and you've got a number of years to your present role and feature now not use your Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) earlier to this maternity go away you're included for 12 weeks. If you've used your FMLA earlier to this go away relying on how lengthy you have been off you have got to subtract that from 12 weeks and that's how so much you're going to have left on your maternity go away. Come again inside the 12 weeks or earlier than and do what is anticipated of you and there may be not anything that your boss can do. If he does uncover a intent to terminate and also you suppose it's unreasonable and you'll turn out that he's telling persons that he needs to fireside then you definately you'll pass to the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEOC) workplace and dossier a wrongful termination. If your organization has an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) application, then you definately would additionally dossier a complaint by way of your organization. I wish this is helping you and well success. Talk for your Human Resources division, you probably have a well one, they must aid you and allow them to recognise what your Supervisor is doing. If you think he's retaliating towards you for the reason that you advised on him then I could allow your HR division recognise approximately that too. Most firms do not tolerate retaliation from Supervisors to their staff. Here are a few internet sites you'll get extra knowledge on. Christine D. Human Resources Manager P.S. I am additionally pregnant and feature six weeks left.

You should put your health first and your baby first and excercise your rights. Join the trade union if not already a member they will help you enforce your rights.
I used to work in Logistics so I know the pressures and you know one day at lunch I saw in the travel agent "Denmark £10" so I bought a ticket and resigned that afternoon. A good move for me, but i was just 17 then. For you the union is needed to protect your rights you have worked hard to build them up.
Good luck in exercising your basic RIGHTS !

Same thing happened to me but I stayed at work until I went into labor. I went two weeks earlier and was told to go home because my boss was afraid I was going to have my kid at work...that would make them send you home...lol. Anyway, 6 weeks after my baby was born, I went back to work but they had hired someone to do my job. I worked for three days and was told I was terminated. I don't even know why they had me come back to work at all. I know it was illegal what they did but it worked out. I got unemployment and stayed home with my daughter until I could find another job...so it worked out for us in the long run.

Which government do you work for? I know you are eligible for FMLA but that isn't anywhere near a years leave. You need to do what you can to achieve peace of mind and tend to your new family.
