The length of maternity leave in Utah depends on your situation:

  • FMLA (federal law): Up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave if your employer has 50+ employees and you meet eligibility requirements.

  • State employees: 3 weeks of paid leave, plus potential FMLA time if eligible.

  • Private sector: Varies by company policy,  some combine paid time off, short-term disability, and unpaid leave to reach 6–12 weeks or more.
