What maternity leave protections do I have if my employer has fewer than 50 employees?

If your Utah employer has fewer than 50 employees, the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) usually doesn’t apply — meaning you may not have guaranteed unpaid, job-protected leave.
However:

• You may still qualify for pregnancy-related accommodations under Utah’s Antidiscrimination Act and Federal law, which require reasonable adjustments for pregnancy, childbirth, and related conditions.

• Many small Utah employers still allow personal or medical leave even if not legally required, so it’s always worth asking your HR representative.
