Has anyone ever heard of a firm requiring consultants to pay back parental leave for leaving the firm within a year after taking said leave?

Honestly I was just curious. I’ve seen a couple of people leave during maternity leave. But this was in industry and resumes were a dime a dozen at the time.

Yep, believe that’s the case at KPMG as well. It’s in the HR policy.

It’s policy but don’t know if it’s actually enforced or not

Talent here...it’s a policy and enforced

Yep it is in the policy.

Deloitte’s policy is that you have to return to work for at least six full business weeks to avoid repaying. Personally I think that’s reasonable, and if you were going to stay home after you had the kid but wanted the money, six weeks isn’t that long to endure. You can even ask for a slower transition back to full time / travel work schedules.

I’m hearing rumors that you have to stick around for full year after returning. Going to talk to HR tomorrow to make sure.

Is the an egregious amount of time or is that just me?

I’ve done it, it’s six weeks at least at Deloitte. There is a one year rule about only being able to take family leave once a year, but the pay clawback, no.

Can’t speak for any other firm.
