How to request parental leave
Every Northwind employee gets 26 weeks of paid parental leave after six months of service. Request it at least eight weeks before you plan to start, so payroll and your team can prepare.
- Open Time off and choose Request leave.
- Pick Parental leave and enter your expected start date.
- Attach the MATB1 certificate or adoption matching letter.
- Send the request. Your manager and People Ops both approve it.
