Really? The guy i work with went on paternaty leave for a month and a bit, and he came back, still had his job. He is a full time employee, not a contractor. The same with alot of other people at my company, but they are on maternity leave. They have their job back after a year off. If any company lays you off for paternity or maternity leave.. i would seriously consider taking them to court.
