Question | Explanation | Reference |
---|---|---|
How much time off can I take? | Up to 12 weeks total within the first year after your child is born. If you want to stop working before the baby comes, 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. 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 not longer receive a paycheck. Of course, this is all dependent upon available funds in the Reliant account for which you are responsible. | Maternity/ Paternity Leave |

If you are the FATHER, there are two benefits or policies that you need to review.
- 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 child's birth to care for your child. This policy just covers the amount of time that you are able to take off, not your pay during that period. Because both you and the mother work at the same ministry or church, you may be limited to a combined total of 12 weeks of leave to share between the two of you.
- Maternity/ Paternity Leave - This benefit covers the additional paid time off that you are eligible for when you have a baby 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.
