"Anybody on parental or medical leave should not be doing company business. If your former boss's manager expected her to work while on leave, that violates all kinds of personnel and insurance policies. If your former boss worked on the financial stuff secretly, the company has sloppy security. Your whistle-blowing should have been strictly confidential, but it sounds like someone revealed that you were the one who flagged the problem."
"Set a meeting with the manager. Tell them that you have taken on your former boss's responsibilities and are interested in moving into her old position (if you are). If the manager says you aren't eligible for that job, ask for a raise or bonus to compensate you for the extra work. A raise is better, because it's permanent, but sometimes companies can pay someone monthly bonuses while they're taking on another role temporarily."
Parental or medical leave should preclude employees from doing company business; expecting work during leave breaches personnel and insurance policies. Secret financial handling indicates weak company security, and whistle-blowing confidentiality may have been compromised. The employee has absorbed most of the former boss's duties without title or pay and is facing verbal abuse. Recommended actions include meeting with the manager to request the former role, a raise, or a temporary bonus, or to demand additional paid time off. Document responsibilities and mistreatment, raise formal concerns with HR, consider legal counsel, and explore other job options if retaliation continues.
