"100 Best Companies for Working Mothers"

		Bon Secours Richmond Health System

		New moms are eligible for 24 weeks of maternity leave, with four weeks partially paid and three days fully paid. Then they may return to work on a reduced schedule. Staffers with only a month of service may receive $3,500 in adoption reimbursements..


		Booz Allen Hamilton

		New parents with one year of service can take up to 24 weeks off, job guaranteed (eight weeks are fully paid for moms, two weeks for dads). As for reentry, a ComeBack Kids program encourages staffers who have left the firm to return, and in 2005, 108 women who had left were rehired.


		Capital One Financial Corp.

		Expectant parents got a big break in 2005, with more time off. New moms now have 16 weeks of job-guaranteed leave (up from 12), with eight weeks fully paid (up from six). New dads and adoptive and foster parents get 12 weeks off (two paid for fathers and secondary caregivers; six paid for primary caregivers).


		CJW Medical Center

		Taking time off doesn't jeopardize a career: Staffers may take a personal leave of absence for up to six months and return to the same job or a comparable one. New mothers with one year of service, including those who adopt, are eligible for 24 job-guaranteed weeks of leave; fathers get 15 weeks. Partial pay is available to some employees.


		Inova Health System

		New moms receive full pay for four of their 12 weeks of leave; new dads and employees who adopt receive full pay for two weeks. As moms phase back to work, they can opt for a very limited schedule (every other weekend) yet retain seniority and benefits.
