And when he was a boy, he was just a boy. But when he became a man he was the Moth Man!

My bad.
Woman dumps employer who was paying her to stay home with the kids and takes another job; whines because her employer won’t keep paying her maternity leave; media tries to paint employer as evil guy.
There should be no such law. You work, you get paid. You don’t work, you don’t get paid. Save your money while you’re working because you might need it when you can’t work. Oh, but that’s old fashioned common sense, formerly called “prudence.”
Before taking advantage of her unpaid family leave, however, Manley was required to use all of her paid time off.
“As part of FMLA you are required to take all of your [paid time off] prior to the unpaid portion of leave,” Manley tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “So I was given the [paid time off] on January 1, required to take it in February.”
It is not exactly clear if this PTO is something she earned with accumulated work or something she was given to use as part of her benefit package. If the former, the company has no business asking for it to be repaid. If the later, then they do.
“Jettson”
No. Please tell me Mom didn’t do that to Junior.
Jettson is not the worst name I have seen given to a male.
I met a Cajun gentleman whose father (his mother died during childbirth) name him Moth Rothschild. His last name was Fugere which made him Moth R. Fugere.
“If the former, the company has no business asking for it to be repaid. If the later, then they do. “
Again, where do you see them asking for the leave to be repaid ...
I had an employee who was calling in sick while he was actually working at a new job. I found out and called the new place and told them I was from a furniture rental place and needed to verify something with this guy. They put him on the phone and I told him it would be a mistake to ever use my company as a job reference. Probably should have sued him, but this was Canada..
“By using company money to pay her insurance benefits.”
She says she will repay them.
If I understood correctly, the woman’s maternity leave was unpaid.
The employer is demanding payment in return for insurance benefits and vacation time/personal days.
After she informed the company that she would not be returning, the new mom was surprised when she soon received a billing statement of more than $2,600 from the company. According to the statement, Manley owed the company for its share of her health care costs and the paid time off they required her to use.
And when he was a boy, he was just a boy. But when he became a man he was the Moth Man!
She didnt realize it wasn’t a vacation.
Paid maternity leave (which I disagree with) of course should come with strings attached. Work for at least one year afterwards, or return the pay and benefits. Otherwise, of course it will be taken advantage of. I’m a total Luddite....would rather moms stayed at home to raise the kids.
She is a common, ordinary run of the mill thief
Not all states require an employer to pay earned vacation time upon separation. I think if you have earned it, it should be paid but, that is not the law in every state.
her "current" employer would do well to take this as a sign of her character and act accordingly
