THIS.  I am a former lawyer (not labor and employment). There could be any number of things going on here - from constructive discharge (making conditions so miserable you are basically forced to quit) to your manager being a jerk. One would hope that HR would do the right thing, but PPs are right - in general, HR works for the company, not you. It's probably a good idea that HR receive notification in some way, but I'd talk to a lawyer first.

The wording of an email as suggested by PPs is good. I'd probably run it by an attorney first to keep it as bare bones as possible so that you aren't seen as promising anything to your employer if things change before your maternity leave is up. And when you get back, you may also be facing poor treatment based on you taking maternity leave. I watched my SIL go through that. She stuck around her firm for over a decade, passed over for partner and marginalized until they finally "dissolved her group" and she was let go.  She should have come at them with both barrels from the get go, obtained a settlement, left town, and moved on.[/quote]
