Eligibility
To be eligible for reproductive loss leave, you must:
Be employed by the Company for at least 30 days prior to the start of leave. Experience a qualifying reproductive loss event.
Reproductive loss event means the day or, for a multiple-day event, the final day of a failed adoption, failed surrogacy, miscarriage, stillbirth, or an unsuccessful assisted reproduction.
Reasons for Leave
Reproductive loss events include:
A failed adoption , which means the dissolution or breach of an adoption agreement with the birth mother or legal guardian, or an adoption that is not finalized because it is contested by another party. To be a qualifying event, you must be a person who would have been a parent of the adoptee if the adoption had been completed. A failed surrogacy , which means the dissolution or breach of a surrogacy agreement, or a failed embryo transfer to the surrogate. To be a qualifying event, you must be a person who would have been a parent of a child born as a result of the surrogacy. A miscarriage. To be a qualifying event, you must have experienced the miscarriage, your current spouse or domestic partner, or another individual that would have made you a parent to the child. A stillbirth. To be a qualifying event, the stillbirth must result from your pregnancy, the pregnancy of your current spouse or domestic partner, or another individual that would have made you a parent to the child. An unsuccessful assisted reproduction , which means an unsuccessful round of intrauterine insemination or of an assisted reproductive technology procedure. To be a qualifying event, the unsuccessful assisted reproduction event must have been experienced by you, your current spouse or domestic partner, or another individual that would have made you a parent to the child.
Use of Leave
Eligible employees will be provided up to five days of unpaid leave for a reproductive loss event. The five days of leave do not have to be taken consecutively. Leave must be completed within three months of the event entitling you to leave. If you experience more than one reproductive loss event within a 12-month period, the maximum amount of reproductive loss leave you can take in a 12-month period is 20 days. You may elect to use any accrued vacation time or other accrued paid time off that you are eligible to take during the otherwise unpaid reproductive loss leave. Reproductive loss leave will run concurrently with any other leave entitlement when permissible under applicable law.
