Is it unreasonable to expect a raise at the end of the year knowing that I’ll be on maternity leave part of next year?

Absolutely not unreasonable from the point of view of what you deserve. However, in the sad world we live in, it is very likely that you will face the motherhood penalty. I see that you are an attorney though - so please fight it and give the rest of us some hope!

I have two daughters. Received the highest rating and generous raises and bonuses both times. It’s not unreasonable!! 💪

Absolutely not!! You will be on mat leave NEXT year. A raise is reflective of your work from this year.

Not unreasonable re: leave, may be unreasonable re: this economy. We have no raises across the board this year.

It happened for me! Promo and raise before mat leave. I think it does depend on company culture etc. Be persistent and check in on it if you have to. Hoping the best for you :)

Thank you all for putting that in perspective for me! Very helpful.

I got an end of year raise 1 month before going on Mat Leave. Not unreasonable at all!

Depends on how long you’ll be out. If you’re out more than 4 or 5 months of the year, I would expect nothing. 3 months or less - maybe a prorated amount

Not if you earned it. Get that cash. 💰💰💰

No, its totally reasonable.

I just recently resigned my teaching position for a position in another state to be closer to family. I will be making a lot less money (about 1/2 as much). Am I crazy to give up a high paying teaching position that took me 12 years to get to on the pay scale or is being closer to my family worth the pay cut? Anybody ever found themselves in a similar situation? I gave up tenure too. Honestly, I wasn’t happy living in my home town making the most money I've made. I guess it’s a leap of faith!
