I know everyone's company is different but I was wondering how everyone else's companies handled this.
When you took your time off of work after the birth of your child, did you take PTO, vacation or sick time to cover your pay while you were out? If you did, did you continue to accrue your vacation or PTO or sick time while you were out and using those hours?

While using PTO I accrued PTO. But when on disability I did not. That was a real bummer when I found out.

Normally, if I were to just take vacation time or personal time, I would still accrue leave. However, the way my company handles is is that they put you on "temporary leave" where you do not accrue any vacation or personal time. You can use your vacation/personal time to get paid during your temporary leave, but you cannot accrue additional time.

Yes. If for example I was on maternity leave for a year I would still accrue a years worth of benefits

I have to use my PTO I have built up, we get our vacation on our yearly anniversary, so I will not accure anymore when I'm on maternity leave. And actually when I return will have no vacation/personal days for 7 months...not going to be fun.

Yes, I am still accruing vacation time and sick days while I am on maternity leave. I am also using some of my vacation so still accruing whiel diong that. The only time I won't accrue these is when I take unpaid leave towards the end, but I'm only doing that for 6 days so I shouldn't really notice the difference too much.

If I'm using straight banked vacation time, I accrue benefits normally.
If I'm out on disability (which I will be), I don't believe I accrue vacation time but I do accrue time towards my "total time with company". It's sort of a moot point anyway though as I am salaried and don't accrue vacation; at the start of each year I roll over whatever unused vacation I have left over, and then get 3 weeks of new vacation for the year.

I got 6 weeks PTO (it's 8 weeks if you have a section), then an additional 1 for Parental Leave (this is actually paternal leave, but they can't discriminate so woman get it too), and then I had accrued 4 weeks of vacation so I tacked that on to it (I could carry over from 1 year to the next). I continued to accrue while I was out so I still went back with 7-8 days.
My company has since been bought, so it will be a little different this time, I still get 6 weeks, but now I'll get 2 weeks Parental Leave, can't carry vacation over so I will have to come back sooner but I can take my salary at 80% and work 4 day work weeks for 12 weeks
