maternity leave policies
New-mother work breaks
Maternity leave policies are the rules governing time off from work for women during pregnancy and after childbirth.
These policies specify duration, pay levels, job protection, and eligibility requirements.
They vary dramatically by country and employer—from unpaid weeks in some nations to a year or more of paid leave in others.
The company updated its maternity leave policies to include twelve weeks at full pay.
