Teachers Maternity Leave? What length of time is it?
600266
I've taught in 3 states, and I've always understood that teacher maternity leave is UNPAID.\n\nIf you have significant sick leave saved up, you can use that and it would allow you to be paid for as many days as you have saved up, and any remaining maternity leave would be unpaid.\n\nIf you're a teacher and you're considering getting pregnant, a good idea would be for you look into purchasing an Income Protection policy (such as offered by AFLAC or American Fidelity) which would give you replacement income during the time you are on leave and unpaid.\n\nGood luck to you!

I'm a part time lunchlady, but I wish I was a full time lunchlady. That way I'd still be off when my kids are out of school, but I'd get paid on a 12 month cycle instead of 9 months.

Synopsis of Law\nCovered employers must grant an eligible employee up to a total of 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period for one or more of the following reasons:\n\nfor the birth and care of the newborn child of the employee; \nfor placement with the employee of a son or daughter for adoption or foster care; \nto care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition; or \nto take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition.

i think the school day should be 8 to 6 with several recess periods so parents can work and not worry about daycare and after school care.  the schools should only have off the legal holidays that all workers get.  Each child and each teacher gets 2 weeks vacation -the child's to co- relate to the parents work vacation.

Jeff, she did ask a question, TA is a Teaching Assistant.\n\nDepends on where you work and what age the kids are.  I'd say between 12-16k?

I am a teacher.\n\nI will certainly give you the opportunity to do the work again.  I would not penalize you for the late work.  I think you've suffered enough.\n\nHowever, get your Mom / Dad to write a note to me.  There's no replacement for parental support.\n\nAnother consideration is this.  A student's track record in a class is golden.  Teachers, well I do, notice this, and I take it into account.

In Europe 35 hours, UK 37.5 but you don't have to, a salary is for professionals who do the hours they have to do.  Over here generally even less than above and 3 or 4 weeks holiday per year, makes you wonder doesn't it?

1.  I would ask what the company benefit is for paternity leave, if any.  You could say that you would want to be sure that mother and baby are well and stable (who is going to deny you that?) That would equal up to a week off.\n\n2.  The salary... always a yucky question.  If you were fairly paid in your last position, then add 5% to it for a starting point - as long as the benefits match up.  I always say that my salary is just part of the total compensation package - especially with a new family.  you need to know how much insurance will be, vacation, days off, etc.\n\ngood luck

My wife did substitute teaching when our son was young so she could be available to stay home with him if he got sick (or if she was sick or needed to do something else rather than work).  It worked out great!  She always got up and dressed as if she had to be at work by 7am.  She got calls almost daily, and I think part of the reason was because word got around that she was always there shortly after she was called.  She filled in several times with advance notice, but most of the time it was a last minite thing - often it was because of a teacher who woke up feeling sick or having something happen in the morning.  The best part about it was being able to say "I am not available, today, but call again" if she got a call on a day that she couldn't work.  (One trick is to never give the reason you aren't available and they'll always think you have already been taken by another school.) Good luck!

I know the military offers a "Troops to Teachers" program.  Talk to the military office that deals with military folks about to wrap up their service, they should know.  Good luck!

Full time means 35 to 40 hours per week.  If you work in an office that is usualy about 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.  If you work in a hotel, store or resteraunt, that could mean nights eveninings and weekends too\n\nSchools vary but it is usualy about 9 to 3:30.\n\nFor low income families, government money is avaiable to help cover the costs of daycare or afterschool care...however very few daycares operate outside of the hours of 8am to 6pm monday to friday....so you usualy need to get a day job to benifit from this

I am a full time Mom- I spend 24 hours a day / 7 days a week...no holidays no sick time. ;) .... I am a photographer.  I spend about 6 hours a month doing that(split up into half hour sessions)  Plus I am an AVON Ind Sales Rep.  I spend about 6 hours a week doing this.  I try to do as many little things as possible so I can enjoy my children while they are little.

Wow.  Five weeks of vacation/sick?  That IS incredible.  You better take advantage of what they're giving you while you can since you're going to be slammed starting in Jan.  You're wanting to take off the 4 remaining days you have around Christmas.  I would imagine it would be pretty slow around that time anyway.  The easiest way to approach your boss is to simply ask.  Something like, How's it looking around such and such dates?  I'd like to take 4 days but if we're going to be busy during that time, then I could work something else out.  Your job sounds great.

All of the previous answers are correct! But did you know that through the 1970's teachers could not marry if they were in the same schools? They discouraged husbands and wives teams within a district and certainly didn't approve of them in the same school building. Relationships were kept secret. Also, I remember not telling anyone I was pregnant in the late 70's with my first and second child until I began to "SHOW"! The principals would harass you until you would eventually go on leave! Also, many districts would not grant maternity health benefits as only the husband had health insurance. It took us almost two years to pay the bill for our first child.

I worked in a daycare center in CO.  For ages 2 1/2 - 5 it was 7 children to one worker.  I worked in the largest class, 2 -3 year olds, and we had 3 teachers, 21 kids.  I don't think there is any state where the ratio is 1 to 15 in child care.  Please don't take your child back there untiil you've checked it out.  They can't possibly be watching your child very well!

You are very confused......wonder when "fall" leave ends?  Oh by the way when does "summer" and "spring" leave begin?\n\nAll United States Military Men and Women receive 30 days "leave" per year.  There is no seasonal leave.  It is used when the individual applies and according with situations and manpower issues within their unit.
