These policies are generally aimed at supporting the mother&#8217;s full recovery from childbirth and facilitating a stronger mother-child bond. This mechanism has gained greater salience in the past few decades as mothers increasingly enter the workforce.&#8221; &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maternity_leave_in_the_United_States\">Wikipedia.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>History of maternity leave<\/h2>\n<p>Back in 1993 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/general\/topic\/benefits-leave\/fmla\">Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)<\/a>\u00a0was passed providing certain employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year. \u00a0Sadly, this did not create a universal system of coverage\u00a0but rather had stipulations. \u00a0To qualify for leave, you would need to\u00a0meet the following criteria:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Company<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Companies with at least 50 employees<\/li>\n<li>Public Agencies<\/li>\n<li>Public or Private Elementary\/Secondary Schools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Employee<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have worked for your employer for at least one year<\/li>\n<li>Has at least 1,250 hours of work within said year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Family and Medial Leave Act does not cover 40% of women in the workforce, forcing mothers who cannot afford time off no other choice than to continue working during the early stages of their newborn&#8217;s life. \u00a0Additionally,\u00a0many women do not take the leave provided even when it is attainable for fear that requesting paid time off will compromise their job security. \u00a0It&#8217;s important to remember that\u00a0nearly 60% of couples with children have 2 parents that work outside of the home, making family protections an important issue in our daily family lives.<\/p>\n<p>On January 15, 2015, President Obama signed a Presidential Memorandum directing federal agencies to advance six weeks of paid sick leave to federal workers to use as paid family leave.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, on Jan 28, 2016, Defense Secretary Ash Carter discussed reforms that included a 12 week paid maternity leave for women across the joint forces. \u00a0This extra benefit is double the amount of time these mothers were previously provided.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Our calculation is quite simple &#8212;

that, alongside the California Paid Family Leave program from 2002 which granted employees 55% of their earnings for up to 6 weeks made California one of the best states for paid maternity leave.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalpartnership.org\/research-library\/work-family\/expecting-better-2016.pdf\">study performed by the National Partnership for Women and Families<\/a> found that on a state-by-state basis, 37 states received grades of &#8220;C&#8221;, &#8220;D&#8221;, or &#8220;F&#8221;, 12 of which having failed to create any workplace policies establishing assistance for new and expecting parents.<\/p>\n<h2>The Best States with Paid Maternity Leave:<\/h2>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Grade &#8220;A&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>California<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Grade &#8220;A-&#8220;<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>District of Columbia<\/li>\n<li>New York<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Grade B<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Connecticut<\/li>\n<li>Hawaii<\/li>\n<li>New Jersey<\/li>\n<li>Oregon<\/li>\n<li>Rhode Island<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Average States with Paid Maternity Leave:<\/h2>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Grade &#8220;C&#8221;<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Louisiana<\/li>\n<li>Maryland<\/li>\n<li>Wisconsin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Worst States with Paid Maternity Leave:<\/h2>\n<p>States that have not passed any laws protecting working families since FMLA:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alabama<\/li>\n<li>Arizona<\/li>\n<li>Georgia<\/li>\n<li>Idaho<\/li>\n<li>Michigan<\/li>\n<li>Mississippi<\/li>\n<li>Missouri<\/li>\n<li>Nevada<\/li>\n<li>Oklahoma<\/li>\n<li>South Carolina<\/li>\n<li>South Dakota<\/li>\n<li>Wyoming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As expecting parents or working parents considering having a child, researching your state&#8217;s maternity leave policies should be on your to-do list. \u00a0This can&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1774,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,30],"tags":[465,466,467],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How the U.S. and Individual States Fare on Paid Maternity Leave - Work Parent Sleep<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Your baby comes first, that&#039;s why understanding paid maternity leave in your state is vital.
