Maternity and Parental Leaves

Being a parent is one of the most important roles you can have in life. UNFI supports you by providing time off to recover, care for and bond with your newest family member.

Eligibility

You may be eligible for other leaves of absence, such as Family Medical Leave. For details, check the myPolicies site accessible via the myUNFI Portal, or talk to your local Human Resources representative.

Paid Parental Leave

Paid Parental Leave (PPL) must be taken in consecutive days and within six months of the birth or adoption (or if earlier, placement for adoption) of the child for new parents.

• Non-union associates, eligible for Short-Term Disability (STD) coverage: Four weeks

Important: PPL will be taken after STD benefits exhaust for new mothers.

Paid Maternity Disability Leave

UNFI also offers paid Maternity Disability Leave (MDL) for associates who are medically unable to work due to pregnancy or who are recovering after giving birth.

• Full-time, non-union associates: One week of paid MDL
• Part-time, non-union associates: Three weeks of paid MDL
