I thought EI paid some and the company paid a bit (please correct me if I'm wrong). I think it has a variation where EI pays x amount of wage and the employer can supplement.

Plus you pay for it in deductions.

I think the company has to guarantee to hold your position or one in similar capacity. Still major pain in the butt to get new hires and train them only to have that position disappear. Not to mention most women get pregnant more then once in a career.

Long story short...just be happy she has a job after all that time off...there are many who do not have that luxury
