Definition
- Maternity leave is a job-protected leave from employment provided to mothers around the time of childbirth, sometimes with full or partial income replacement. The purpose of maternity leave is to give mothers time to prepare for or recover physically from childbirth and to care for newborn children without losing their employment.
