In Connecticut, no. Under the Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act, an employer must provide “a reasonable leave of absence for disability resulting from her pregnancy…” The law does not put a cap on the amount of leave an employee may need or take.
In Massachusetts, yes. Under the Massachusetts Maternity Leave Act, employees are only entitled to 8 weeks of leave.
In both states, if an employee is covered by FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act), then they may be entitled to up to 12 weeks of leave.
