[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there is a payback requirement, one day of work won't satisfy it. Tell them now and expect some bridges to be burnt. [/quote] They can't make you "pay back" maternity leave. As for burning bridges, explain your reasoning and be professional and friendly and you won't burn any. But in different circumstances, a law firm wouldn't think twice about burning you if were in their interest. Plenty of lawyers have been laid off (RIFed) after returning from a maternity leave. (Only really dumb firms lay off staff while they are on leave, but it's been known to happen.)[/quote] Of course they can, especially if it's a stated policy. But I doubt they would. Being "friendly" really isn't going to compensate for being dishonest. [/quote]
