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.
Time taken off work because of any illness, pregnancy, or complications of pregnancy can be counted against the 12 weeks of family and medical leave in a 12-month period. The employer must let the employee know that the pregnancy leave was counted as FMLA.
