New job while on pfl
My wife is due in 4 weeks. I plan on taking pfl. But i also have found a better job and dont have the start date yet. Im thinking i will in a week or so. But say i take my leave and then i just quit to start my new job. Is that possible? Say i only take about 2 to 3 weeks of leave and instead of returning i just go to new job.

You should read your existing company's benefits paperwork carefully. Sometimes employers will say that you have to pay back the period you took time off for if you don't return. Other companies will just let it go...

I've heard of people doing this successfully — going straight from maternity leave to a new job! If you're leaving on the best possible note for pfl and this new position is the best fit for your growing family, then I'd say go for it! Hopefully your current employer will understand. Also, they're planning for you to be away from work for X amount of time regardless // hopefully have resources in place to cover that... if you were to be leaving this job when you *weren't* on pfl, do you think they'd be relying on you to train your replacement?

Can you negotiate your new start date to be months from now?
