Timeline: Paid Leave for Birth of a Child

For the Birth Mother

This timeline shows the types of paid leaves a birth mother can use for the birth of a child. Please note:

  • You can only use one type of leave at a time.
  • You need to have accrued time in your bank to use PTO or legacy sick time.
  • If you are not enrolled in the buy-up option for short-term disability, you will need to exhaust your legacy sick time before starting short-term disability.
