Even my wife received no compensation during her time off. Our employer made her return so unpleasant that she left the company, as did I, once I found other work. The US model for maternity leave is horrid, at best. Paternity leave is nearly nonexistent. My apologies, I've stumbled into a rant. Here's to a pleasant reacclimation, and ever-dwindling inbox!

Rant justified. That's awful. On saying that enters here can be bad too. My wife's last employer did the same to her on her return. Terrible stuff
