Zilch. They guarantee my job (actually, i'm not sure about now...there are less than 50 people at my company) but none of my leave is paid.

8 wks paid and an additional 18 weeks unpaid. You can tack on accrued vacation time too. I toon just over 5 months.

3 months paid. (I believe it's short term disability, though. I don't know if that matters.) I am very lucky to be at a company that gives that much. Though I'm not lucky in the getting pregnant part.

My company has a benefit where they match your full salary while you're disabled. You accrue weeks based on how many years you've worked there. But that's not just for maternity leave.
Between that and my sick and vacation time, I have about 12 full weeks paid.

Standard 6/8 weeks of disability and 12 weeks FMLA. Depending on how long you have been there is how much you get paid during the 6/8 weeks

I was the first pregnant person at my office so we were starting from scratch. I wound up taking 13 weeks, 2 of those were paid. I had three PTO days left for the year so I had those paid out as well. The rest of the time was unpaid.

3 months paid, with the ability to take an additional 2 months unpaid. I plan on taking all 5 months

I get 52 weeks, but that's per the Canadian government. My company tops up 70% of my pay for up to about 4 months.

6 weeks paid, and then they claim they will hold my position up to a year.

Up to 12 fmla. I have to use any personal day I have first. If I had another baby and had no days, my pay would be docked each day I was gone on maternity leave. Isn't that absurd?!

There is no policy and we're not eligible for FMLA, because we are 10 people and the only person who's ever been pregnant there is my boss. But because there's no policy, it was negotiable -- and I ended up with 12 weeks, 8 of it paid (and the rest paid by short-term disability). Because my employers are freaking awesome.

52 weeks, and 93% top up pay from my employer the entire time.....

Nothing but keeping a job for me. Actually, I am going back to a position that they have created for me. Even though I didn't get any pay while on leave, I am coming back to a way more interesting job.

@regberadaisy Yeah! This is all very interesting to see how much it differs. Googling my state's stuff now!

Big fat 0, got my job held that's all

Just 6 weeks of short-term disability (pay at 60%) + 6 weeks unpaid.

I'm a teacher/librarian and I'm getting screwed a little bit, since I just moved states and left behind my massive accrued sick and personal leave from my old state. There, I would have had all 12 weeks of FMLA totally paid by using my accrued sick leave (I had something like 4 months of sick leave saved up at my old job). BUT in my old state (Texas), you are ONLY allowed the 12 weeks. Even if you have more leave saved up, you aren't allowed to use it (unless there's a medical reason).

Now that I'm in my first year in a new state (NJ), I'll only have FMLA, where I can take 12 weeks total which is technically unpaid (but with benefits), but where I can use as many accrued sick/personal leave days as I have to still retain the same pay. Sadly, I'll only have about 15 days from this school year and next school year combined paid. BOO. So the rest of the 12 weeks is unpaid.

The cool thing about my district in NJ, is that it's more mom-friendly if you have worked in this state a few years. If I want to take longer than 12 weeks, I can...in my school district, teachers can take up to a whole YEAR off and still have a job in their same school (may not be the same grade level or whatever, but you will have a job), BUT after FMLA you lose your insurance benefits and have to switch to cobra or personal insurance or a spouse's insurance. So that would be very expensive.

Teachers that have been here for a long time and have a lot of accrued personal leave tend to stay home for as long as they can---so longer than the 12 weeks is common. A lot even take the full year. But I'm probably going to have to go back right at 12 weeks, since we can't afford to lose my salary AND my insurance, which is pretty great insurance.

SAD FACE.

@sslm: Nope, but I work for a post-secondary institution, so still public sector.

About 3 months paid 100% with STD insurance
