Maternity leave for new or part time associates (United States) (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by notbizmarkie
Hi all- Does anyone know the rules about how long a partner has to work at Starbucks before qualifying for maternity leave? FMLA only kicks in after being at a company for 12 months, but I know some companies offer a maternity policy that is less strict.
My other question is if maternity leave is offered to associates who work part time. I know health insurance is provided to associates who work 20 hours a week, which is not common in the US.

For FMLA:
> To be eligible for Family Medical Leave, you must have been employed by Starbucks for at least a total of 12 months and must have worked at least 1,250 hours over the 12-month period immediately preceding the leave.
For Parental Leave:
> To be eligible for Parental Leave, the partner must be benefits eligible.
$1 is the Benefits Plan Description Guide, information is on page 163-164.

Thanks! I should have added this- I do not work at Starbucks but I am thinking of applying. So unfortunately I can’t see the link you posted. 😬Kids are hopefully in the future, so I am looking for a place with benefits.

Gotcha. So to be Starbucks benefits elligible you have to work for 3 months with an average of 20 hours per week. Otherwise for Parental Leave:
> • All parents welcoming a new child, either by birth, foster placement, or adoption, will receive 6 weeks of paid leave, paid at 100% of the partner’s average pay. All parents will also be entitled to up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. Parental Leave is to be taken within the first year after birth, placement, or adoption.
> • Birth parents may begin their leave up to two weeks prior to their due date without being required to provide supporting medical documentation. This portion of leave will be unpaid, and the partner may choose to use available sick time or vacation pay.
> • Birth parents recovering from a C-section or a medically supported disability following a vaginal delivery are eligible for an additional 2 weeks of leave, paid at 100% of the partner’s average pay.
> • Any medically supported disability due to pregnancy or childbirth extending beyond 8 weeks will be evaluated under the Short Term Disability plan, paid at 66-2/3% of the partner’s average pay.
> • Partners may elect to use available sick or vacation for any unpaid portion of approved Parental Leave.
Hopefully that’s enough info for you!
