Parental Leave
Our paid parental leave aims to provide parents with a new child the opportunity to achieve their personal, family and professional ambitions.
Parental Leave consists of ten days (80 hours) of paid-time off for full-time employees. For part-time employees on the 24/32-hour work week, the time is pro-rated to 48 or 64 hours respectively.
If parental leave time cannot be taken in a single continuous block of time, employees may elect to break-up this time, subject to the approval of their manager or supervisor.
Employees can only utilize this benefit in conjunction with an approved FMLA leave. Be sure to read the Parental Leave policy, section 7.6, in the Employee guide to Policies and Procedures located on Benesch Connect.
