The "get ones back to work" was for those using FMLA as an excuse to get out of Peak.
It's a simple question-----would the same people who are willing to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave at Peak do the same at any other time of year? Think about it----that is 3 months off for the birth of a child. Unless you are the birth mother (and even then it would be excessive) or there were complications during or after the birth, why in the world would anyone need to take 12 weeks after the birth of a child?

I've had two weeks off when I was on jury duty...that was nice
When my wife gives birth, I plan on taking a month, MAYBE 6 weeks off to help her out around the house, and help her to take care of the newborn. The time of year doesn't make ANY difference to me. If it's in June or December, I'm going to take the same amount of time off.
Management can like it or hate it, I'm not going to lose any sleep over that.
I'll lose sleep due to a crying child
Great advice from a real good dad no doubt.When you do, apply for FMLA as Intermittent. You'll be able to take time at birth but also time throughout the year as needed if you have to. The need for you around the house to help doesn't end when the baby pops out.
