Help with staggered parental leave - case stuck in pending status

Thanks! I'm thinking of taking 2 weeks right after the birth, then 4 weeks when the baby is 3 months old, and the rest when they're 6 months. Is that even possible?

Yep, that's totally doable! Just make sure you communicate those dates clearly to your HR department and in your parental leave application. They might need you to fill out separate forms for each segment.

Oh man, more forms 😩 But thanks for the heads up! I'll talk to HR tomorrow.

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit? Anyone else tried it?

I was skeptical too, but it really worked for me. Saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny imo

20 bucks to skip the hold time? Sign me up! 💸💸💸

This is super helpful, thank you so much! 🙏 I didn't know about the 30 day notice thing, that's good to keep in mind.

Great info! Quick question - does the 30 day notice apply for the first segment too, or just the later ones?

Good question! The 30-day notice applies to all segments if possible, but they usually understand that the first segment might be less predictable due to the nature of childbirth. Still, give as much notice as you can!

ikr? It's like they want us to give up and not take the leave we're entitled to 😤

Try calling first thing in the morning, like right when they open. Sometimes you can catch someone before the lines get crazy.

I emailed them every day until they responded. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that 🤷‍♂️
