When women become pregnant and have children, they often need time off from their job. This time off is often referred to as maternity leave. 

The stipulations for maternity leave are typically laid out in the employment contract. This contract will detail how much time the woman can take off and how much she will be paid. 

In some cases, women willl choose not to come back to work. In making this decision, women should be aware of provisions in their employment contract that outline how to end their employment during a maternity leave.
