Paid Parental Leave

Effective January 1, 2024, the company has updated the paid parental leave plan for all USA employees, including nonunion and employees part of a collectively bargained agreement, who regularly work 20 hours or more per week (except temporary or staffing contract employees). The plan allows eligible employees to take time off to bond with a newly born or newly adopted child. Initial eligibility will occur upon date of hire. 

Eligible employees will be entitled to up to 10 weeks of parental leave at 100% of regular straight-time weekly pay within the 12 month period following the qualified event.

 

• You must be scheduled to regularly work 20 hours or more per week (except temporary or staffing contract employees)
• You must notify your manager as soon as possible that you will be taking this leave
• If used intermittently, parental leave must be used in weekly (i.e., up to 5 business day) intervals and must be completed within the 12 month period following the qualified event. The leave may not be taken in increments of hours or days, unless otherwise required by applicable law
• Leave requests must be submitted to and approved by Lincoln Financial, otherwise you will not get paid
• Payments will be paid through payroll
• Documentation is required
• Paid Parental Leave may be offset by amounts that the employee is eligible to receive from any other sources (e.g., state or local leave laws) so that the employee will not receive more than 100% of their regular straight-time weekly pay
• Paid parental leave runs concurrently with leave under the Company’s Family and Medical Leave Policy, the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and all other legally mandated leave. It cannot be taken with STD
