Paid Parental Leave

Paid Parental Leave provides paid time off after the birth, adoption, or foster placement of a child.

What Paid Parental Leave Offers

  • Paid time for bonding with your child
  • May run at the same time as FMLA
  • May be used to cover the STDI 30-day elimination period after childbirth
  • May supplement STDI so you receive full pay

We will help you understand how your parental leave, FMLA, and disability benefits work together.
