A fair retention bonus typically ranges from 10% to 25% of an employee's annual salary, depending on the company's financial situation and the employee's role and importance. This bonus is designed to incentivize key employees to remain with the company during critical periods, such as mergers or restructuring. The amount should reflect the employee's value, the duration of retention needed, and the potential impact of their departure. Ultimately, it should be competitive enough to discourage turnover while aligning with the company's budget and goals.

Whether you're entitled to a retention bonus while on maternity leave depends on your employer's policies and the terms of your employment contract. Generally, if the bonus is contingent on active employment or specific performance criteria, you may not qualify during your leave.
