Many companies do provide maternity leave, many (but fewer) also provide paternity leave, but companies below a certain size are not federally required to provide either (though I believe there are some arrangements where you can take unpaid maternity leave but legally can't be fired during your maternity leave).



It sounds like you're thinking of the Family Medical Leave Act, which doesn't apply to everyone.
