If you answered yes to the poll (you have paid maternity leave benefits for which you don't contribute), what do you do or what type of job/industry are you in?
Why would you think physicians get paid maternity leaves? I think they are probably some of the least likely to get a paid maternity leave in my experience.

My sister is a doctor and got full pay for 2 months of bedrest plus 3 months of maternity leave.

You're right. My OB was back in the office THREE weeks after giving birth. My guess is she had limited or no paid leave, and there was an incredible expectation for her to return ASAP or she would be fearful of job loss.

This is the case with most physicians that I know, I feel lucky that I got most of my maternity leave paid.

My husbands last private school did. I forget the exact numbers, but it was a sliding scale. So for 2 years you might get 30% for 6 weeks. 3 years 40% and so on.
I took unpaid maternity leave at a public school, but they did adjust my paycheck, so I never stopped getting paid Each month's check was just smaller to account for the unpaid leave. Same money, but it just feels nice to still get a check deposited each month.
Lurker here... But I want to share. mainly because my company gets such a bad wrap. I work for Bank of America, and they give us 12 weeks paid mat leave and up to 6 months unpaid. Also this goes for both mothers and fathers. So if you are a guy and you have a baby you also get the 12 weeks paid off. It is an awesome benefit and since my husband and I both work here when we have our child (we are TTC) we will both get the 12 weeks off together to bond.
People can say what they want about the bank but they are good to their employees.

I work for a dot com that does marketing for a specific industry. Our maternity leave policy was created for me since it's never come up before. I got 4 weeks paid.
I work for a mid size accounting firm. We have paid maternity leave depending on your years of service. For 5+ years, it's 6 weeks paid, so not much. I used to work for a big 4 accouting firm and I believe they have at least 12 weeks paid.

My husband is in finance and he gets 6 weeks paid paternity leave. I work in higher ed for a private university as a staff member and I get 12 weeks unpaid.

This is awesome and I'm glad to hear it but I still hate BofA with a fiery passion!
I hear you, and I know most out there hate us. I mean I work in mortgage modifications so I really know the hate out there. But I have worked for a few different banks and Bank of America is the best I have worked for and I really see how they are trying as best they can to help people.

I had no idea the military gets maternity leave. That's pretty nice. I wish the feds had something.
Me too. And now my agency is trying to not let people use accrued comp time for FMLA. This has not passed, but it is in the works. So if you worked a bunch of OT so you could have enough leave to have paid FMLA, you would not longer be allowed to use it. Sucks.
That's ridiculous. I still think it's crazy that you're only allowed to take 6-8 weeks of sick leave for maternity.

This. I've never encountered paid leave. I took unpaid leave with both kids (granted DS was an end of residency baby). If we were to have an oops third I think my current partners would "generously" offer me 4 wks, total.
