What is your firms maternity leave policy before and after leave? How is the transition back handled in terms of rating for the year (ability to keep later years rating? Pro rated, etc?)

2 weeks guaranteed. 6 weeks if you're the primary care giver. Must be taken within 6 months of child's birth. Not sure about anything else

I'm taking 6 months fully paid by combining with vacation. Ability to opt out of end of year review (CRT). Rating and bonus from prior year carries over.

You get 2 weeks pre partum leave and then post partum leave starts after. Call HRSSC and they will build you a tailored plan, firm vacation days in there too (holiday shutdown). Opting out of CRT is always an option just need coach and RP approval

Caring over your rating from the previous year is the most awesome piece. I was able to figure it the 6 month leave (maternity + loa + pto + a few weeks unpaid) but the year end rating is a killer when I came back. Getting rated against peers against a different time frame is unfair at best.

EY is now 16 weeks for pat and mat leave

PWC is 6 months for maternity leave. I'm not sure what's paid versus not, but I had a colleague go out last August and she was still promoted. Deservedly so.
