Do you have short term disability? Many people use that. Depending on size, your agency may also have a leave bank that may or may not cover maternity. My guess is that they don't want to deal with the hassle of reporting pay to DPFML every quarter and withholding-- and some people probably don't want them to because it's money out of their paycheck for a program they'll "never use". It's unfortunate, paid leave should be available for everyone.

Did you check on Massachusetts state PFL? I got onto that 3 months into a new job, because I had been paying into it at my previous Massachusetts job.

Sorry, just reread. Ugh! That’s super sucky. Part of why people get into nonprofits is the benefits, and they’re supposed to act like humans.

You from the area? And like theres not much around here heard about a street hockey rink that was around years ago but had gotten taken down, so dartmouth and swansea are the 2 wish there was better options since swansea is like almost 25 mins away
