Hey Steve: My Boss Won’t Let Me Take Maternity Leave! 🍼 II STEVE HARVEY

[@cocomelon1396]

My employer had 4 employees, and still I got a 4 month maternity leave in the Netherlands. The size of the company shouldn't matter. The US is seriously effed up.

[@LarisseMontrose]

It really shouldn't. In the US though we've seen small businesses as the underdog for decades since companies like walmart drove so many out of business and took the profits out of our communities. For a lot of people (and lawmakers) that's morphed into venerating/pitying small business owners and now they legally get away with things that a larger business can't. It's ridiculous.

[@Cafeallday222]

If they are forced to figure it out, they will. But no one forces them in the us.

[@gevs4487]

The problem in United States, is smaller businesses are not generating enough income for all that to be done.

[@DREAMSANDSOUL]

Having a child in the US still equals to disability....? In Germany, you are NOT allowed to work 6 weeks prior to the calculated birth date. You also can't be fired between the time of announcing the pregnancy until 4 months after have given birth. These are just two of the many more examples. Why are women not marching on the streets for their rights and especially for the well-being of their children?

[@foulany7774]

They just got their right to abortion taken away by a bunch of middle age white men playing politics with women and kids lives. Just an idea of what women are going through.

[@Midwestmommyx]

Not even all states provide a short-term disability option either. Meaning anyone who doesn’t get paid maternity leave from their work/is self-employed, doesn’t get paid leave after having a baby. *Me.* It’s been so stressful for me knowing I’ll have 0 income for however long I take my leave. It’s also right before tax season for me too which is already extremely rough because I’m self-employed. So I’ll have a hospital bill, pediatrician bills, my personal expenses like my rentals, car insurance, phone, health, etc AND have to pay almost 10k for taxes right after I get back to work. (That’s even after my estimated payments I’ve been making.) I hate it here. America SUCKS.

[@Midwestmommyx]

-to add, I mention the hospital and pediatrician bills because we obviously have horrible health insurance as well!! Just to top it off!

[@lusti6511]

Same in Switzerland. From the beginning of pregnancy till 4 month after there is no firing. 14 weeks of maternity leave are mandatory (!!!). All of this is payed by the public hand. And to be honest, i love paying taxes here, because those things like this woman has to go throught are not normal. It's not sitting on the high horse but come on US, you can do this better. It's not about wellfare state, it's about taking care of you fellow men (and woman).

He's right. It's illegal to discriminate. It's called FMLA and it's a fed law that stipulates 12 weeks of unpaid leave, job protection, & health insurance must be maintained. With that being said, the co. must have 50 or more employees. Also, the boss doesn't have to file for your disability. She can file it herself with the state & there is noting he can do. Allow him to fire you, collect unemployment, & stay home with the newborn til you find a new position. Register for financial aid & plus loan, go back to school online so you'll be hm with the baby. A health radio technologist pays $65-$85K yr & it's a 2 yr program. Apply for loan forgiveness as you qualify as a helping field career. Schooling goes both ways... Your hubby like cars. If he gets his 2 yr auto tech lic his salary jumps to over $100/hr for domestic autos & greater with imports like audi...

I firmly believe that we need to implement a sick leave as well as maternity & paternity leave programs for all workers in this country. I personally feel that every time worker in this country regardless of their job should be guaranteed at least 2 weeks of sick leave & 2 weeks vacation per year. In addition to guaranteed sick leave, we also need to allow both mothers & fathers who just had a baby to be guaranteed time off with pay as well, so that way businesses can ensure that their employees at all levels can come into work feeling their best & contributing their best physically and mentally everyday. Finally, I firmly believe that "Working Poor" should not be a thing! If you work full time every week of the year, you shouldn't be living at or below the poverty line in this country! Hence why I feel there should be a Universal Basic Income for every American citizen above the age of 16 based on what the poverty level is so that way no one who works full time should have to financially struggle to get by.

she got GREAT advice from Steve and Im certain lots more that was not aired.

[@mbourque]

First: he's not telling her that she "can't" have a baby, he's telling her that these are her options as far as the company policy goes (which don't include denying her having a baby). Just that "you can do x or y, but not z" as far as taking time off. that's it. There are NO Rights being denied. Second: this has nothing to do with her desire to have a baby, it's solely based on the logistical functioning of the company there are MANY laws that apply to large companies but not small companies, This is mainly due to the need of the company to be able to continue functioning if the employee is out for a long period of time. If an employee is going to be missing and it impacts the functioning of the company significantly, then they are allowed to either limit how long that employee is gone (with in the limits of the law and company policy) OR they are allowed to replace that employee. Simple as that. JUST LIKE she has the right to decide to not work for that company anymore if her circumstances change and she doesn't feel that working for that company benefits her anymore... Now, some small companies are able to work around an employee being missing for long periods, and that's great. But some companies can't, and that's why they are allowed to opt out of things like maternity leave. Third: she is always free to not work for that company at her choosing, she is not a slave of the company and they have no say in her choice to continue working there... If she feels that she would like for another company that has the benefits that she desires, then she should apply to that company... Simple (and I have done this several times in my life). Forth: Telling women to sue a company for things that are legal for them to do will only 1. get her fired, 2. cost her legal fees AND possibly punitive fines when the company wins, 3. falsely encourage other people to try and go down this same path and end up in the same situation (losing money they probably don't have) without understanding that what they're trying to do is futile and won't work out for them either. Fifth: IF you don't agree with the laws as they are written, then work to have them changed, DON'T encourage people to fight against something that is already legal. Sixth: trying to force companies (especially small companies) to take on things (laws or policies) that significantly apply to one sex will actually cause them to hire LESS people of that sex in order to lessen the impact to that company due to those laws or policies. Example, a small company has 35 employees. 6 women quit or take 6 months leave in order to start families. Later, the company will try and hire men instead of women to fill those positions the next time those positions are vacant. Even though it seems 'sexist' for this to happen, in reality it's about logistics. The needs of the company will come first to those that make the decisions about the wellbeing of the company. Seventh: DON'T try to compare the U.S. laws to those that are socialists or semi-socialists countries. Their leave is paid for through the government from taxpayers' money. IF they company is paying the employee for that time off, the company is being reimbursed from the government for what they are paying the employee. Thus, the employee is actually paying for their time off with their taxes.

[@audrianamichelin8726]

It's not a lawsuit, it's a human rights violation that they have legal right to. I had 4 weeks unpaid, hr basically told me without telling me that if I didn't return after maternity leave I'd be fired. I quit within 3 weeks of being back.

The job I had back when I was pregnant with my first child, I had planned to use up a bunch of vacation and sick time where I could take off nearly a month before he was due. Shortly before i was due to go on leave I get informed that a coworker wanted to take a week of vacation time before I go on leave and that I was to cover her duties on top of mine that week - I was working as a housekeeper at an inpatient medical facility. This was challenging work covering my own work while several months pregnant - let alone double the work. Though I did what I could, needless to say, I had several complaints from staff that week that things were not done to their liking. Also, the original idea to have the extra weeks before giving birth to get last minute things ready for the baby didn't go as planned - he ended up arriving nearly three weeks early. I wonder if the additional stress from that last week working contributed to that.

That’s not the case depending on the size of the company. Under 50 employees aren’t able to get FMLA in Michigan at least

[@ambermik2940]

@@msjoy2005 you are correct as far as fmla goes. But the law is you have to let someone have 6 weeks off for a vaginal birth and 8 for c section. Regardless of number of emplopyess. Unfortunately if you go a day over those times in anyway you are no longer protected by the law.

The USA sounds awful. I get 4-6 weeks off for general leave every year. I'll get at least 12 weeks full time paid maternity leave, but I'll be able to leave work to have a baby (biological or adopted) for a year and walk back into that same job because they're obliged to keep it available for me.

Norway: In Norway, a pregnant employee is entitled to a leave of absence for up to 12 weeks during her pregnancy. After childbirth, the mother takes a leave of absence for the first 6 weeks of the post-birth period unless she produces a medical certificate stating that it is preferable that she resume work. The parental benefit period lasts 49 weeks (15 weeks are reserved for each parent) with 100% wage coverage or 59 weeks (19 weeks are reserved for each parent) with 80% wage coverage. The parental benefit is calculated in the same way as sickness benefits. The maximum benefit is equivalent to 6 times the National Insurance Basic Amount annually, regardless of whether the parents’ income is higher. Leave rights related to having a child mean that parents, together, are entitled to take leave until the child attains 3 years of age. The Norwegian Labour and Welfare Service (NAV) pays the first year. Even though there is no bonus system, Norwegian fathers are known to use up 40% of parental leave so that they can spend time with their children before going back to work.

[@kasun1752]

People educate yourself on labor laws, the amount of employees does matter, this will also depend on the state you work in. You have fmla at federal level for 50 ee ir more and AdA which covers 15 ee or more in Nevada - If the company is an state where there is no specific state laws, the they have to adhere to the federal level and under AdA is a must to rp use reasonable accommodation for the birth of a child, to allow the woman to go out 6 to 8 weeks depending on when the Dr. Releases her from the child birth disability. And even if the state doesn’t have enough employees I always advise clients to allow the woman to be out for the period of the disability. Please note that STd benefits is something different employees get confuse, unless the state mandates companies to provide it there is not requirement to offer supplemental short term disability this is a benefit that will replace income while on leave this is not a protection of your job. Again the laws will depend on the state.

Hilarious and pathetic that the u.s. doesn't have maternity leave. One year here that can be divided between both parents for both natural and adoptive parents.

[@jamila321]

Honestly have heard that quiet often. Not with me but when i interviewed for jobs i was asked if i had kids and if yes that is not possible to work here. They dont take people with kids bc if the kid were to fall sick or an emergency would occur. Plus he'd fear that mothers would have to go home a certain time (to pick up the child etc) and not able to stay longer(all shift work jobs). Never took one of them jobs but kind of happily surprised that others find that weird, too. Saw that soooooo often😅

It’s crazy how it works in the US in Germany you are not even allowed to fire a pregnant lady or your company will pay a high fine. Plus you get maternity leave 6 weeks prior birth and 8 weeks after and then parental leave which can be up to 2 years paid and another unpaid but you keep your position and they have to give you your job back. I don’t know how women in the US have children so 😢

[@phyllislittlejohn7281]

Steve TV: With regards to the young lady being told by her employer that if she had a baby she would be fired is against the law. It is a form of discrimination. This law or something similar to it is nothing new in NYS. However, if it is in writing that she cannot have a baby, while employed at her place of business and she signed some type of contract or policy relating thereto, she must adhere to it. I would suggest that she look into this matter further, legally, as there is free legal service (consultation) available pertaining to this subject matter.

[@amandadenney6482]

I worked for a small independent company that had a small amount of employees so that meant that they didn't have to offer insurance. So we had to buy our own insurance from the Marketplace. I got assistance through the Marketplace because my income was low enough, but it would have been great if the employer chose to provide insurance for us. I was glad to have a steady full time job though and have enough money to pay for my insurance.

I think the USA is one of the worst places to have a child. Almost all other jurisdictions give maternity leave, irrespective of the number of employees.

[@NatNat_626]

In America maternity leave is not an automatic right. My mom who is a public school teacher in Michigan got 8 weeks when she gave birth to me in 2002. And that is because she had to have a C-section. If not it would only be 6 weeks. Many women do not get the luxury of even having all that time for after birth. There are many health complications that could result in the mother needing to be on bed rest or hospitalized.

What they really need to discuss is based on what she also previously mentioned about her boss trying to talk her out of getting married is the fact that he most likely has an infatuation with her. The boss’ wife needs to be more concerned with that than sticking up for him cause he most certainly lied about his statement to her. Ugh. I hope everything works out for her.

[@alkaoskar5458]

In India weather you are working with government or private you have 26 wks maternity paid leave you can divide it before and after pregnancy as you wish and you can take extra days leave if any complications or problem occurs but it would be without payment. And no one can remove you from job. This is the rights given to Indian women. I feel it's really advanced and thought full right for all pregnant and new mom in my country.

[@ronnieolivegaming]

He did not tell her she can't have a baby... In fact he tried to help her by planning out 3 weeks... All he said was she'll be let go if she takes longer than that... Not one part of what the employer said was wrong here. It's not a law suit... Not even close. It's a pretty big jump from "you can't work here" to "you can't have a baby" ...

[@EnzoPrince92]

I did a research in 2021 about the maternity leave system. But a sad thing to tell you, U.S. doesn’t have any law to support maternity leave. Particularly compared with the Euro, and even China! China put that in the law, that is forced maternity leave although all the employers are trying to push you to give up this benefit. But, at least, it is in the law and it could lasts 6 month, and it’s fully paid. You may lose some bonus though but the basic salary will be paid. But they don’t have a strong paternity, not like EU. The EU, mostly north EU, really good at this. Maternity and Paternity leave are good over there.

[@tugboat2]

Did you say CHINA?! Aren’t they the ones that will give a mom a forced abortion when she wants her baby?

[@EnzoPrince92]

@@tugboat2 right, the one child policy, which has been suspended years ago. But right now, they turned since they have seen the issues from that policy. So they want more new born now. But even during the one-child policy, the maternity leave action has been in the law since 1955.

[@EnzoPrince92]

@@tugboat2 but I’m not saying Having this maternity leave is good or not, cause I was doing research on this. I’m just saying that, and for people’s reference to think about it. Attention, the maternity leave also brings some backlash, which is not expected to happen before. But back to my life, as a father and husband, I, myself, strongly support Maternity+Paternity leave.
