Re: maternity leave
Under the federal law, the Family and Medical Leave Act, you are not an eligible employee since you have not worked there for a year. However, state law may provide some leave entitlement and your company may have some leave policy that will be of assistance to you. I would recommend that you consult with an employment law attorney who practices in your state.
