Sasser Restoration recently announced new paid parental leave benefits. Employees at Sasser Restoration can now take a four-week, paid maternity leave, one-week, paid paternity leave and a one-week, paid leave for adoptions.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides workers with up to 12 weeks of job-protected family leave if the employee meets the specified criteria. Despite FMLA being an option for mothers and fathers across the country, studies show many employees cannot afford to take this unpaid time away from work.
“We are proud to offer this industry-leading benefit to our employees and provide them the opportunity to spend time with their child without worrying about the financial aspects of taking time away from work,” said Houston Summers, partner at Sasser Restoration. “When we care for our employees, we are able to better care for our clients and those around us.”
Eligible, full-time, employees who give birth will receive three weeks of paid leave to recover from the birth and to bond with and care for their newborn. Other eligible, full-time, employees will receive one week of paid leave to bond with and care for their newborn/ adopted child.
Those using both birthing and non-birthing parental leave will be paid at 100 percent of the eligible employee’s regular pay and must be used within 3 months of the birth or adoption of the child. By way of example, an eligible employee giving birth to a child would receive one week of paid non-birthing parental leave and three weeks of birthing parental leave for a total of four weeks paid leave.
Where state or federal law dictates benefits greater than the offerings of the company the company will comply with the applicable law.
Sasser has invested in new HR and financial reporting tools, increased pay across the board, and has improved benefits over the last six months.
