Getting ready to have a baby? If you work 20 hours or more per week, you’re eligible for a paid leave.

To learn more, check out the pregnancy leave diagram, and get details on your disability benefits.

Want to take more time to bond with your new baby? Check out the new-parent time off section below.

Following the birth or adoption of your child, you can take up to 12 weeks of new-parent time off. Take it a day at a time, a week at a time, or whatever works for you—even all 12 weeks at once. Just be sure to work out your schedule with your manager, and use all 12 weeks within the first year after the birth/placement.

This is not a leave administered by Unum. You’ll just enter the time in Workday—the new-parent time off option will appear after you enter your new dependent in Workday. You’ll receive 100% of your base pay, and your benefits will continue as usual.

To learn more check out the New Parent Time Off FAQ and Workspace.

If you’re serving in the armed services, Workday wants to support you in every way possible. If you take a military duty leave, your length of service with Workday will continue to accumulate, and your benefits will continue as required by applicable law. 

If you’re called to duty, Workday will continue to pay your full salary—minus any military pay you receive—for up to five years.

• During the first 30 days of your time away, you’ll receive your regular base pay. Just record your time in Workday using the Military Time Off (MTO) code.
• On the 31st day, your Military Leave of Absence (MLOA) will begin, and Workday will pay your regular wages minus the amount you receive as Military Basic Pay. Just submit a copy of your first Leave and Earning Statement (LES) to Workday as soon as it’s available. Then, your top-up pay will be issued on your regular pay cycle for the rest of your leave.
