What is your maternity leave policy? I never have had one in my contract and now I’m regretting it. One mom is on leave now and was not planning on returning until November with both kids like it was no big deal. I told her she had to continue to bring big brother in order to hold the spots so she is bringing him 2 days a week. I have another family who mom is pregnant and due in the first week of October and supposedly goes back to work in January. She says to me “I hope you don’t think I’m a bad mom if I continue to bring son for a few days while I’m on leave” I need to have a discussion with her soon about how I can’t hold spots until January with her son only coming 2 days a week when he was previously full time. Do these parents not understand that we rely on this income?

Should I send her an email or talk to her in person? How do I say it in a nice way that she definitely has to continue bringing her son while on leave? Thank you!
