Maternity Leave in Today's Society
Thanksgiving weekend of 2017 my boyfriend of three years and I found out we were going to be welcoming a baby boy into the world. My pregnancy flew by and soon I was trying to figure out how long I got to spend with my little bundle of joy before returning back to work...and more importantly if I was going to be getting paid or not. Being 19 years old, working an $11/hour job at just under 40 hours a week AND having bills to pay doesn't leave you with a lot of money left over to save. So I got onto my company's list of policies to have a look.
