Question: Who is responsible for paying the worker's salary and
benefits, if any, during the pregnancy leave time?
Answer: Issues concerning pregnancy leave time are covered under
the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). FMLA leave is generally unpaid leave.
However, an employee may elect, or an employer may require an employee, to
substitute the employee's accrued paid leave (if available) for some or all of
the FMLA leave period.
