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.
An employee is entitled to up to 12 workweeks of FMLA leave for most qualifying reasons or up to 26 workweeks of FMLA leave for military caregiver leave. The employeeâs actual workweek is the basis for determining the employeeâs FMLA leave entitlement. An employee does not accrue FMLA leave at any particular hourly rate. FMLA leave may be taken in periods of whole weeks, single days, hours, and in some cases even less than an hour.
