We are a small non-profit (15 employees); we have no maternity leave policy. I realized FMLA does not apply to us, but what is required by the state of Georgia? If nothing is required, what is considered reasonable to offer anyway? Thank you.
With 15 employees, you are covered under the federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), which prohibits discrimination based on pregnancy. This means that you may not take adverse employment action because of a woman’s pregnancy. You must treat pregnant employees the same as you would treat any other temporarily disabled employee.
The law does not require any specific amount of leave, but if you provide disability leave for employees who have other temporary disabilities, then you must provide the same for pregnant women. The amount of time, if any, provided is up to the employer, but must not be any less for pregnant women than it is for other temporary disabilities.
