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.
A husband and wife who are eligible for FMLA leave and are employed by the same covered employer may be limited to a combined total of 12 weeks of leave during any 12-month period if the leave is taken for birth of the employee's son or daughter or to care for the child after birth or for placement of a son or daughter with the employee for adoption or foster care or to care for the child after placement, or to care for the employee's parent with a serious health condition.
