Employers must grant up to 40 hours of leave during any 12-month period for employees to attend prenatal care visits with a health care provider.

Leave applies to pregnancies of the employee, the employee's spouse, or pregnancies for which the employee will be the parent, provided the leave cannot be scheduled during nonwork hours.

Employees must provide reasonable prior notice when the need for leave is foreseeable and make reasonable efforts to schedule leave to avoid unduly disrupting employer operations.

Leave is unpaid unless the employee chooses to substitute accrued paid vacation leave or other appropriate paid leave.

Prenatal care leave is in addition to and does not reduce any leave available under section 181.941.
