Maternity Leave is granted on the date of birth of the child for 16 weeks and will run concurrently with Disability and FMLA. SMP will reduce your pay by the amount of any benefit approved by Reliance Matrix for Disability. Paid maternity leave will not reduce any salary continuation benefit available to you for disability outside of the covered 16-week maternity benefit timeframe.
We also offer 10 days of paid Miscarriage Leave for any employee who experiences a loss.
For Parental Leave, you do not have to take the leave concurrently, however, you have up to one year from the birth to use the leave in its entirety. Employees are granted 8 weeks of parental leave, and must take their leave 1 full week (5 business days) at a time within the first year of the child being born.
Proper documentation will be needed to confirm a family leave including a birth certificate, or proof of adoption or fostering. Failure to provide proper documentation may result in disciplinary action and/or termination.
See your Human Resources representative for a copy of our policy and to request a leave with your manager.
