Thanks
for your note to Feminist.com.
Every employer has different
rules about maternity leave
(or paternity leave). So the
short answer is that you should
ask your employer (really the
Human Resources Department if
your workplace is big enough
to have one) what their policy
is.
If your place of employment
has more than 50 employees (I
think it's 50, but it might
be more), then they fall under
the Family Medical Leave Act--whereby
they are required to give you
a minimum of 6 weeks (I think
it's six). To learn more about
that, you can contact your representative,
9to5
(they drafted the lesiglation),
or the Department
of Labor.
