I have never heard of a maternity leave for fathers but that doesn't mean they don't offer it..... Best bet would be to check with his store manager or union rep..... If they don't could have him look into a leave of absence ..,.....
FMLA applies, and they should hold your position for you (not replace you) for up to 12 weeks, BUT you have to meet this requirement:
"You've worked for your employer for at least 12 months and for at least 1,250 hours during the previous year (which comes out to 25 hours per week for 50 weeks)."
State laws could possibly come into play if you're not covered by FMLA. Varies.
