U.S. non-union colleagues eligible for Sysco-sponsored benefits are eligible for the following benefits:

• Pregnancy leave: Sysco provides birth mothers with six (6) weeks of leave with full pay to recover immediately following the birth of their child. Pregnancy leave runs concurrent with Short-term Disability and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and is offset by any state paid benefit, if applicable.
• Parental leave: Sysco offers paid parental leave to eligible colleagues who are birth parents or became parents through adoption or surrogacy. Eligible colleagues receive up to 10 days or 80 hours of paid parental leave following the birth, adoption, or surrogacy of a child to be used within the first 6 (six) months of birth or adoption date. Parental leave runs concurrent with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and is offset by any state paid benefit, if applicable.

Colleagues can initiate pregnancy leave, parental leave, and FMLA through The Hartford by calling 1-800-55-SYSCO. Colleagues must coordinate days off with their manager and HR representative, 30 days in advance, by submitting a Parental Leave Request Form.

Sysco offers these benefits because we understand that pregnancy and becoming parents are important events for our colleagues. Pregnancy is a major health event, and we want to help birth mothers take the time they need to rest and recover after childbirth. When your family grows, Sysco wants to provide paid time off for bonding with your new child.

All U.S. non-union colleagues eligible for Sysco-sponsored benefits are eligible for pregnancy and parental leave benefits. Colleagues covered under a collective bargaining agreement should refer to their CBA for eligibility. Part-time colleagues are not eligible for the pregnancy and parental leave benefits.

Your eligibility for pregnancy and parental benefits aligns with your eligibility for other Sysco health and welfare benefits. Once you are eligible for Sysco-sponsored benefits, you will be eligible for Sysco's pregnancy and parental leave benefits.

These policies apply to all colleagues who meet the eligibility requirements for the Paid Pregnancy Leave or Paid Parental Leave benefits. However, you do not have to be actively enrolled in other elective Sysco benefits programs in order to participate. You can find more detailed information about these offerings in the Sysco Policy Library or by calling The Hartford at 1-800-55-SYSCO (1-800-557-9726).

If you have any questions, please contact The Hartford by calling 1-800-55-SYSCO (1-800-557-9726) and pressing 5. Or you can reach The Hartford directly at 1-877-215-3440. You can also find more information here.

Several states offer paid leave benefits related to family leave and disability leave. Colleagues working in states offering paid leave benefits must contact both The Hartford and their state for claims and funds processing. Some states cover the full amount of eligible leave payments, and some states cover a portion of eligible leave payments. Sysco Leave of Absence-related benefits (e.g., STD, pregnancy leave, parental leave, etc.) run concurrently with state-paid benefits and are payable as an offset to colleagues receiving a state paid benefit.
