Are You Qualified for Adobe's Maternity Leave Benefits?

Welcoming a new child into the world is one of life's greatest pleasures, but trying to balance work and home is often very stressful. Many parents have to negotiate time off for fear of losing their job or health benefits.

The United States is one of the few countries that does not require employers to offer paid parental leave. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), while helpful, only provides unpaid time off, leaving parents to struggle financially.

Fortunately, Adobe understands the importance of bonding with a new child during the first few months of life. Adobe maternity leave provides eligible employees with paid parental leave benefits that complement FMLA leave.

DoNotPay can show you how to apply for FMLA and coordinate benefits for your paid Adobe maternity leave. Our automated system simplifies the process, leaving you time to focus on your family.

Who Is Eligible for Adobe Maternity Leave?

Adobe employees must meet the following criteria to be eligible for the paid Adobe maternity leave program:

• A full-time or part-time Adobe employee
• Employed by Adobe for at least 12 months
• Completed 1,250 hours of work within 12 consecutive months before the first day of the requested time off

Qualifying Event

To request paid Adobe maternity leave, employees must meet the above-listed criteria and apply for FMLA benefits with a qualifying event that includes:

• Birth of a child
• Placement of a child in your home through adoption, foster care, or other custody situation

If the child placed in your home is six years of age or older, you can request up to 12 weeks of parental leave. Adobe will cover your salary for up to four (4) weeks within 12 months of the child's arrival in your home.

Guidelines

Employees that meet the eligibility requirements for both the Adobe maternity leave and FMLA leave programs will receive up to sixteen (16) weeks of paid parental leave.

Adobe employees may also qualify for additional benefits for physician-certified FMLA leave due to childbirth-related disabilities.

The entire 16-week qualifying paid Adobe parental leave has to be continuous and must be completed within six (6) months of the birth of a newborn or placement of a child. All available state benefits must be taken concurrently with eligible Adobe maternity leave paid time off.

Only a small portion of the country offers state-paid maternity leave benefits.

If you live in a state that does not offer paid parental leave, you can take advantage of the FMLA leave benefits. DoNotPay can help you fill out the proper forms to file an FMLA claim.
