Yes you get six weeks. I worked for burger king that was also private. Look through your hand book. You can also go above his head like i did and they will tell you.

And just saying but you can't get fired for having a baby.

I'm also in Florida.  Went through this in Missouri and they are also a right to work state. Your boss needs to learn the law

By law they have to hold your job for 6weeks and with no difference when you go back to work. Went through this twice with my old job.

Yeah I heard about that but in state of Florida it's right to work so Luke you said they don't have to hold my job and in the words of my boss I'll hold your job but I don't have to . You can't believe nothing they say here so on my last two.weeks I'm going to try and find a part time job. But my safety and my baby is most important I'm due in less then 8 weeks and I'm breast feeding and that more important then them bullshiting me

Even if your not entitle to family and medical leave act( FMLA) you should be entitle to maternity leave act( MMLA )...it is by law for a job to allow you at least 6weeks of MMLA whether they want to or not. Now once they give it to you they do not have to keep your job for you. So take your maternity leave but make sure you go to DTA get food stamps and help with housing bcuz you can prove you have no income so do wats best for you and your baby
