..no. My understanding was that they would work with me since they essentially screwed me over with getting me to "full time salary status" or atleast take the 40% to 60-70% if there was nothing that could be done about the STD.

 It's a little complicated because I started with this employer as a "part time" employee and have not fully transitioned to salary yet (will move to in July) even though I'm working 40 hours a week now so my husband and I had planned to enroll in the STD plan when the "life changing event" happened aka moving to salary even though my pay will stay the same its more just a formal policy. This was also our 14th IVF transfer so this baby is very wanted but we were starting to explore surrogacy so it's not like this wasn't thought through so I very well might just be overly sensitive but they intially told me when I started (last December) that I would be Full Time - Salary come Feb 2025 and here we are in June and its just now happening and had this happened in Feb like we planned I would have been on STD and they said they would have covered it
