[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't think there are any hidden sources of income for someone on maternity leave.

If you expect her to return to work with you, and if she's been with you a while, is there any way you could creatively "repurpose" some amount of compensation she would otherwise be getting from you?  Would you give her an annual bonus, or a raise, or does she have any accrued vacation?  I'm just wondering if you could give her a bit of income during her time off if you gave her a bonus now, or let her use accrued vacation (not sick) leave for a week or two of her time off.   If you were really certainly she'd be coming back to work for you perhaps you could even consider saying that in lieu of a raise next year you're going to pay her part time for a month (or whatever math works) or something like that?

Obviously with anything like that you're taking a risk that you're putting money into someone who might not return, or might not stay very long, but maybe it's the kind of thing you'd be willing to do for someone who's proven.

But as for finding money somewhere else?  Pretty tough to get for what is considered a voluntary kind of absence (as opposed to injury or loss of a job).[/quote]
