There is no required paid leave in the US. No paid vacation, no paid sick leave, no paid parental leave.

Parental? Maternal leave is also unpaid AFAIK.

I think I typed parental and went "no, the other one" and changed it to paternal. My mistake.

No worries! Just wanted to note for anyone else that comes across this that mother’s also go unpaid for leave in the US. Sad state of affairs. I just got back from South America and folks were shocked when we talked about US labor laws.
