<prompt> Human: Im going on maternity leave by Dec 22nd. Im the head of my departmentinventory for a medium sized manufacturing plant. this is technically my 3rd year as the manager of this department but really Im just now getting a good hang on the responsibilities of this job. Im so worried all Ive done to fix this department will come undone in the 3 months Ill be gone. my boss has agreed to set me up with a laptop with remote access to my desktop at work so I can keep doing my job. Ill be doing everything I do in the office just from home. so the question is, how much should I ask for in compensation? I just got approved for a 15 raise, I dont want to come off as greedy.update: Ive talked with my boss about what I think I can handle and how Id like to handle it from home and have asked for half my usual salary. hes going to take it up with the owner and well see : Id like to thank everyone that offered advice. Ive taken it all into consideration and yall even scared me a little so Ive got to remember my new little family comes first. thanks everyone!  <response>: You get paid at your current rate, multiplied by the time you are working. Are you working 50? then you get half your usual salary.
