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.
Under the FMLA, the total leave time is 12 weeks, whether it be for pregnancy-related disability and/or baby-bonding reasons. It is important to note that smaller employers in Californiaâthose with 20-49 employeesânow must offer up to 12 weeks of baby-bonding leave to eligible workers under the New Parent Leave Act, which took effect on Jan. 1.
