Federal Maternity Leave Laws. The federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides for 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for a qualified employee, working for an employer subject to the regulation. The worker can take leave for his or her own disability, or while caring for a sick family member.
The leave must be for the time that the employee is disabled from pregnancy or childbirth, but no more than four months. In California, expecting mothers are entitled to maternity leave for more than the mere childbirth itself. They have a right to time off for disabilities related to the pregnancy and childbirth. The definition of âdisabledâ in these circumstances is fairly broad.
