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.
Those men who took leave spent an average of 13 weeks away from work, compared to an average of 31.5 weeks for mothers. The government of Canada splits the EI benefits between maternity leave (17 weeks maximum) and parental leave to a maximum of 35 weeks. So after having a baby, moms can take at least 17 weeks leave of their jobs. At that point, she and the other parent have the option of taking off the remaining time â up to a total of 35 weeks. A mother could take 20 weeks and a father the remaining 15, for example.
