Ironic: No Materinity Leave at CPS?

February 22, 2007

http://www.calm-your-screaming-baby.com/image-files/colic.jpgOne of our employees just found out that his wife is having a baby.  He shared with us that his wife’s employer did not provide any paid maternity leave.  She could use her accrued vacation time, but other than that she was on her own.  I was shocked when I learned that she worked for Child Protective Services.  Isn’t that ironic?  The State agency charged with the protection of children does not provide maternity leave for its own OVERWORKED employees?  I dug a little deeper and called The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Child Protective Services division, and talked to Michael Hess who confirmed this fact.  Does this seem right?  I don’t think so…

If you want to voice your concern about this issue contact:

Carey Cockerell, Commissioner 512-438-4800
Joyce James, Assistant Commission for Child Protective Services 512-438-4800
Rick Perry, Governor 512-463-1932
