Re: Pregnancy leave in NYS
Under the FMLA, assuming you meet the legal definitions an 'eligible employee' working for a 'covered employer', you are entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid family medical leave. Your employer need not hold your specific job, but must have one with similar duties and compensation when you return.
If you are terminated, discriminated against, punished, or denied leave, you may contact my office via email.
Good luck and congratulations!
