is fmla maternity leave paid
We've already mentioned that federal and state laws may protect your job with unpaid maternity leave. However, some companies offer unpaid leave policies on top of their paid leave or STD-supported maternity leave. This corporate unpaid leave may even extend beyond the 12 week minimum protected under FMLA. Even if your company doesn't offer you additional unpaid leave (e.g. after a 4 week paid or partially paid maternity leave), you might still qualify for additional unpaid leave under federal or state law.
