I just posted but forgot this. Does anybody have a copy of the specific federal guidelines regarding the time a new mother is to be allowed off work? We are having trouble with a school district here restricting their teachers to 15 school days (three weeks) leave time following having a baby. If they take any more time off than that, they have to have a letter from their doctor stating what the problem is, and then they have to pay the substitute teacher themselves! HELP!!
