<human>: I'm a bit confused by the new rules about maternity leave. Can you help?
<bot>: Yes, I can help! The current laws around maternity leave vary from country to country and state to state. In the United States, the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid family medical leave for eligible employees who have worked at least 1,250 hours in the previous 12 months. Additionally, some employers may offer paid or partially paid leave through their own policies.
