My company offers the same maternity/paternity leave which is 12 weeks off full pay. They changed this within the last few years. It used to be 6 weeks off at 60% pay.Depends on the company some private companies do have maternity and paternity leave. Also, FMLA does offer unpaid leave as well if a covered employer. The Snackers are self-employed so it's not like they would have access to this. They were saying they were going to take off two weeks after Flipper so I think that's what the OP was referring to.
My partner was working for a nationwide trucking company when I had our baby last summer and they offered him up to 12 weeks (fmla) but it was unpaid. We couldn’t afford that so he took 2 weeks off some of it being his vacation days.
A fitness YouTuber I watch gave birth about the same time I did. She took 12 weeks off as well but had videos posted that she had filmed before hand. The Trackers didn’t plan to release videos during this time because they are lazy, they don’t know how to plan and they know Stans will watch old videos regardless.
