titleWe are adopting!

There are two benefits or policies that you need to review.

  1. Leave of Absence, specifically the Family and Medical Leave section - This policy covers the 12 weeks that you are able to take off of work within one year of your adoption placement. This policy just covers the amount of time that you are able to take off, not your pay during that period.
  2. Adoption Leave section in Paid Parental Leave - This benefit covers the additional paid time off that you are eligible for when you adopt depending on your employment hours. You may use the additional paid time off in combination with your accrued PTO for up to 12 weeks of your Leave of Absence.
QuestionExplanationReference
How much time off can I take?

Up to 12 weeks total within the first year after your adoption placement to care for the newly placed child/children.

If you want to stop working before the adoption (e.g., to prepare for the placement), the 12-week "clock" starts the day you stop working.

Family and Medical Leave section of the Leave of Absence Policy
What happens with my pay?

You will get your full salary for the first 2 weeks of your leave and won't need to use PTO during that time. You may request an additional 2 weeks of paid Adoption Leave. Contact your Program Team for start the process for requesting the additional 2 weeks.

If you want to take the up to the full 12 weeks of your leave of absence, you will need to use any accrued PTO that you have for the remaining weeks. After your PTO is exhausted, you will no longer receive a paycheck. 

Of course, this is all dependent upon available funds in the Reliant account for which you are responsible.

Paid Parental Leave


Note

If both adoptive parents work at the same ministry or church, each missionary employee will receive the 2 weeks of paid Adoption Leave, but they may be limited to a combined total of 12 weeks of leave. (E.g., if one parent takes 8 weeks then the other parent can only take up to 4 weeks.)

Employees should coordinate with their supervisor and/or partner church or ministry if this situation applies to them.
