I am one of the extremely lucky ones who gets 12 months paid maternity leave (after 2 years service).

I got 14 weeks at full pay, then 38 weeks at 60% of my salary. They also offer many options on how to take this pay. You can get it paid in lump sum, return to work early and they keep the remaining money owed to you for use later. They are very flexible and it definately comes into the equation when I consider having #3 (still haven't decided yet!)
