Is anyone confused a bit with submitting maternity leave? I went through my company website and get 12 weeks paid time off. It looks like you have to let them know when the baby is born before it starts. I’m worried about a gap in my paychecks because I can’t afford to miss a week of pay if that makes sense. Tha...
