<p>I am a federal employee. There is NO paid maternity leave. You can use your accumulated sick leave and annual leave if you want PAID time off. OTOH, you can take UNPAID leave under the family medical leave act.</p>
<p>That’s right, NO PAID MATERNITY leave unless you use your own accumulated sick and annual leave or take leave without pay</p>
