When a person has a baby, they can take up to 12 weeks off under the Family and Medical Leave Act, but this is an unpaid leave. Some employers may offer a certain amount of compensation, but how much and when the benefits will be paid is up to the employer.
The amount of money you receive depends on where you live, and the type of short term disability coverage you have.
If you live in the U.S. you will have some level of state mandated coverage. The states that have this coverage are: CA, HI, NJ, NY, and RI. Check your state department of labor for details of coverage.
Your employer may have a maternity leave pay policy - but this is very rare. There may also be some type of company funded short term disability in place. But again, this is very rare.
More commonly, you may have the option to purchase short term disability insurance through a payroll deduction. If you had this option, and signed up before getting pregnant your normal labor and delivery will be a covered benefit. You would have up to 2/3 income replacement: six weeks for vaginal delivery, eight weeks for c-section delivery.
The United States and Australia are the only industrialized countries that do not provide paid leave for new mothers nationally, though there are exceptions in some US states. The U.S. Family and Medical Leave Act provides for 12 weeks of job-protected leave, but it only covers those who work for larger companies.
Most short term disability policies will pay a 6 week benefit for vaginal delivery, and an 8 week benefit for c-section delivery - less the elimination period. Your disability may be longer if delivery complications require a longer recovery period.
How many hours do you need to get maternity leave?
About 2 weeks from the date you filed unemployment.
In the U.S. maternity leave is commonly six weeks for a vaginal delivery, and eight weeks for a c-section delivery.
At least one full year to qualify for FMLA. Other than FMLA, leave is unregulated - it is whatever the employers says normal sick leave is.
In the state of Missouri you absolutely can qualify for FMLA assuming you have been at your job 12 months or more.
Minnesota does not have state mandated short term disability. But private coverage is readily available for pregnancy and maternity leave.
Unemployment is for people who lose their jobs. Disability insurance is for people who can't work due to a medical reason.Your best bet is to apply for short term disability insurance before getting pregnant. Your maternity leave for normal delivery will be a covered benefit.

If you have paid vacation days use those. Otherwise you need to save till you have enough to cover the time off.
for about two hours too get everyrhting you need and leave.
It depends. If you notified your employer that you were taking maternity leave - were paid all during your maternity leave - and then laid off when you reported back for work ready to resume your job - you probably can be. The law doesn't guarantee that you will be given a job, only that you may resume your old position. If, while you were on maternity leave, your position was eliminated or the company downsized your former position may have been eliminated. If you can prove that you were laid off SOLELY BECAUSE OF your maternity leave, then you might be able to challenge it. A lot depends on your employment agreement or union contract and your state's labor laws.
For a standard 37 and half hour week you would have 44 weeks or 10 months of sick leave. (hope you don't need it)
Not unless it is because of a disability. If you are currently pregnant, it is currently not a time to buy. You can buy individual short term disability preconception, and expect a maternity leave benefit. Programs sold via work place marketing provide this coverage. It's easy to get your employer to offer this benefit. All they need to do is deduct the premium from your pay, and forward your money to the insurance carrier once a month. There is no direct cost to your employer. Individual short term disability policies sold direct do not cover pregnancy and maternity leave.
the family and medical leave act applies if company has how many employees?
If you are working for a large corporation or business, you really need to contact the Human Resources Department. There are policies and state mandates that may be particular to the state you are working in.
they're human aren't they? so wouldn't the answer be how many hours of sleep does a human need? and the answer is about 8 hours.
