I would highly recommend speaking to a Partner or your Market Team Leader first. Work out a plan of how much time you need off as unpaid leave. How does that align with your career progression goals etc. create a plan with their input and then go to HR, facilitated by your Partner or MTL. It will be a lot smoother! Also - do not be stressed. Its your life and choices you make for yourself are just as important as your career goals and the firm’s need for retaining good talent. Good luck! :)

It can be accommodated in limited appropriate circumstances, but should be discussed with the HR Partner. The short answer is that it’s frowned upon to take advantage of all of the Firm’s benefits during paternity leave just to quit the Firm at the end of the period receiving all of the benefits. If you have a new situation that truly requires you to take a leave, talk with the HR Partner

Check the policy manual....it should be there.

Experienced a manager quitting right after maternity leave. She came back to clean out and transition. If you want a break for a year, talk to the partner and HR. I'm pretty sure there's a way to take more time off unpaid.

That’s just risky EY2. They could easily have shown him the door and he’d be out 2 weeks of free money. If you are going to do it, you gotta at least wait until you are back to put your two weeks in imo.

I’ve heard you have to go back to work for about month if not you may forfeit your paid leave.

Where is the fine print?? Thanks

I can't go back for a year

You can take unpaid leave, 6 months is the max I think. Check on myKcurve about leave details / find print.

PwC 1- thanks for the pointers but I have checks my kcurve. It says nothing about consequences of quitting after parental leave. I need at least a year break. It could be more

Just ask HR

Sorry I'm not from pwc....at kpmg we have a policy center where we can look up policies for everything. Or you can just email hr.

Wow really OP?

Historically I've seen people come back for one day, charge a full day then hand in a resignation. Meanwhile, they've already secured their next job.

Has anyone started a new job right before going on maternity leave?

Received a verbal job offer on Tues. $5k short of what I had said was my desired range but still up from my current salary. We set up a call for Thurs to discuss further. On Wed they sent me all benefits info. Thursday on the call I asked if we could either increase moving stipend or get closer to my desired salary. They said no, and I asked them to send over written offer and I would let them know by Fri. They then email they are no longer offering me the position and repost it the next day:

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
