Does anyone know where I can look to try and figure it out? Or does anyone here know how this works.
Thanks so much

Maryland does not have any state mandated maternity leave.

If FMLA applies, then you can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. If FMLA does not apply, then you are entitled to as much leave as your employer is willing to grant you.

Does your employer have at least 50 employees within a 75 mile radius? Hve you worked there at least 1 year and at least 1250 hours in the past 12 months? If so, you get 12 weeks of leave between prenatal, postpartum, and baby bonding time. This is less any time you may have already taken during the year for other FMLA qualifying reasons.

Otherwise, as Cbg said, it is whatever your employer is willing to offer.
