Walk It Through: A New Baby

Notice of parental leave, health coverage during it, a job to come back to, and pumping at work.

An employee at a company of several dozen people, there for several years, is expecting a baby in the spring.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A birth to an employee eligible for state parental leave. Paid family leave insurance, federal family leave, and an adoption or foster placement are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
