In the last week, a slew of high profile women have announced they'll miss the 2018 track season as they are pregnant. Being a new parent myself, I thought to myself, "Do they get maternity leave? Do the shoe companies still pay them?"
Anyone know. I think an agent told me a few years back that most do not get paid - they just might get an extra year on the deal. Like if their deal expired in 2019, they wouldn't be paid in 2018 but would be paid in 2020.
I've left the agent a VM but thought I'd also try to crowdsource the answer.
