Here's the appropriate excerpt from the Employment Standards Code.
Quote:
53(7) Where an employee is entitled to resume work under this
section, the employer must
(a) reinstate the employee in the position occupied when
maternity or parental leave started, or
(b) provide the employee with alternative work of a
comparable nature
at not less than the earnings and other benefits that had accrued to
the employee when the maternity or parental leave started.

This is a grey area. Did she or did she not accrue her first raise before her parental leave started? I believe since the raise was never officially given, then it's neither an earning or a benefit by the letter of the law. (ie raises are not accrued, but vacation time/pay is)
