She had to agree to return to work for at least six months after her leave was up. It provides six weeks of fully paid leave and up to 12 weeks total when combined with sick and annual leave. I had eight weeks of combined annual and sick leave, which meant I could take the full 12 weeks off. A coworker told me she took six weeks of paid leave and eight weeks of unpaid leave. 6 weeks of paid leave isn't enough for anyone.
