The Maternity Leave Agreement serves as a formal documentation of the terms agreed upon between employer and employee regarding pregnancy and childbirth-related leave. This document is essential for businesses operating in the United States to ensure compliance with federal regulations such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), and state-specific leave laws. It provides clarity on leave duration, benefits continuation, job protection, and return-to-work arrangements while protecting both employer and employee interests. The agreement should be customized based on company size, state jurisdiction, and specific company policies.
